| Reverse description | The goddess Roma seated left upon a pile of shields, her figure draped and helmeted, extending her right hand to hold a small Nike (Victory). A proconsular date formula appears in the field and exergue. The legend ΡΩΜΗ ΕΠΙ ΓΑΙΟΥ ΠΑΠΕΙΡΙΟΥ ΚΑΡΒΩΝΟΣ identifies the Roman proconsul Gaius Papirius Carbo under whose authority the issue was struck, providing a precise chronological anchor for the type within his tenure from 62 to 59 BC. The composition follows established Hellenistic civic iconographic conventions celebrating Rome's divine patroness. |
