| Reverse description | Eirene, goddess of peace, seated left upon a throne, holding stalks of grain (ears of corn) in her right hand and a double cornucopia in her left. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronzes, with drapery falling in stylized folds over the throne. The regnal year date appears in the field in Greek numerals. The reverse type emphasizes themes of abundance and peace associated with Trajanic propaganda in the eastern provinces. |
