| Reverse description | A helmeted and cuirassed soldier, personifying Virtus, strides right across the field, trampling a fallen captive or enemy beneath his feet. He carries a spear or trophy over his right shoulder and holds a globe or shield in his left hand, emblematic of Roman military supremacy. The control mark C appears in the left field, while the mint signature PTR is placed in the exergue, denoting the Trier (Augusta Treverorum) mint. The legend VIRTVS AVGG runs along the beaded border, invoking the martial courage of the two Augusti, Diocletian and Maximian. The composition exemplifies the vigorous, schematic reverse typology favoured during the Tetrarchy. |
