Reverse description A tetrastyle temple depicted in three-quarter perspective dominates the reverse field, shown with a stepped podium, columns supporting an ornate entablature, and a decorated pediment. A figure, likely a cultic statue, is visible within the intercolumniation. The letters S and C (Senatus Consultum) are placed prominently to the left and right of the temple, authorising the bronze issue by decree of the Senate. The circular legend IMP T VESP AVG REST encircles the upper portion of the design, identifying Titus as the restorer of the type, while PROVIDEN appears in the exergue below, alluding to imperial foresight. The temple is generally identified as the Ara Providentiae or a related monument associated with the Augustan cult.
