| Reverse description | Standing figure of Fides (Personification of Fidelity) draped, facing left, her arms extended to either side as she grasps a military standard in each hand, emblematic of loyalty to the armed forces. The composition is rendered in a formal, frontal stance typical of mid-third-century Roman provincial military coinage. The reverse legend FIDES MILITVM, split across the field, identifies the allegory and underscores Postumus's emphasis on military allegiance as a cornerstone of his Gallic Empire. |
