| Reverse description | The she-wolf of Rome stands left in the field, suckling the infant twins Romulus and Remus below her body, a direct reference to the founding legend of Rome. Above the central type, an officina letter or staurogram denotes the workshop of issue, while the value mark XX appears in the lower field or exergue, indicating the denomination of 20 Nummi. The design is rendered in a simplified, flat relief consistent with the utilitarian character of late Roman and Ostrogothic-era civic bronze coinage. The composition underscores the ideological continuity with Roman tradition maintained by the city mint during this transitional period. |
