| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the legendary she-wolf of Rome, is depicted striding to the right, her head lowered to suckle the twin infants Romulus and Remus beneath her. This foundational Roman mythological type evokes the city's origins and was widely employed on provincial coinage to assert Roman identity and colonial prestige. The design is rendered in low relief within a plain field, with the mint abbreviation C G I H P — standing for Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana — appearing in the exergue or field. The flan shows characteristic irregular striking with patches of dark brown and olive patination. |
