| Reverse description | The personification of Annona, goddess of the grain supply, seated to the right upon a throne, holding a sack of corn-ears in her extended hand. Behind her, the prow of a ship (stern) is depicted, alluding to the maritime transport of Rome's grain supply, principally from Egypt and North Africa. A small subsidiary figure appears to the right in the field. The design composition emphasizes Rome's commitment to provisioning its populace, and the legend is divided around the central type with S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the seated figure in the lower field. |
