| Reverse description | A standing military figure, rendered in a crude barbarous style imitating the official Felicitas Reipublicae type of Magnentius, occupies the center of the reverse field. The figure, facing left, is depicted in military dress, holding a standard or long scepter in the right hand and a Victory or globe in the left, closely following the prototype composition though with simplified and distorted proportions. A blundered exergual mark, partially legible as APLG, appears in the lower field, imitating the mint mark of Lugdunum or Treveri. The surrounding legend is garbled and irregular, reflecting the non-literate die-cutter's attempt to reproduce the official inscription. The overall style is consistent with post-350 Germanic barbarous imitative production. |
