| Reverse description | Depiction of pontifical instruments associated with the Roman priestly office, including sacrificial implements such as a patera, simpulum, lituus, and an aspergillum or similar ritual vessel. The reverse type is known in four distinct variants distinguished by the form of the vase (solid or fluted) and the orientation of the handle (right or left), reflecting the multiple officinae active during this issue. The encircling legend PIETAS AVGVSTOR invokes the piety of the Augustan rulers, a common propagandistic theme of the Gallic Empire coinage. The workmanship is characteristic of the late, debased issues of Tetricus II, with shallow and sometimes poorly centred relief. |
