| Reverse description | Livia, assimilated to Ceres Augusta, is depicted seated to the right on a throne or chair, shown veiled and in full drapery. She holds a long sceptre in one hand and extends two ears of grain over a modius (grain measure) with the other, emblematic of her identification with the goddess of agriculture and abundance. The composition conveys imperial religious ideology linking the empress to divine fertility and Roman prosperity. The surrounding Latin legend CERERI AVGVSTAE THAMPSITANI identifies both the divine honorand and the civic issuing authority, the Thapsitanians. The reverse is executed in a bold, provincial engraving style consistent with the mint's output under Tiberius. |
