Reverse description The Lupa Romana, the she-wolf of Rome, stands facing right with head turned back to the left, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus who are depicted beneath her. The scene is rendered in a bold, provincial style with a ground line dividing the design from the exergue. The colonial legend is distributed around the field, referencing Alexandria Troas as an Augustan colony and evoking the city's foundational ties to Roman mythology.
