| Reverse description | The goddess Salus, draped in a long chiton, stands facing right in the field, cradling a large serpent in her arms and offering it nourishment, a classical iconographic reference to health and divine protection. The figure is rendered in the schematic, frontal Tetrarchic style with simplified drapery folds. The reverse legend SALVS AVGG encircles the type, invoking the health and well-being of the two reigning Augusti (Diocletian and Maximian). The mint-mark letter C appears in the left field as a workshop or officina designation. The coin is heavily worn, with the legend partially legible and the reverse field displaying significant surface corrosion. |
