| Reverse description | The reverse features the large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto), boldly struck in the central field, indicating that the bronze coinage was issued by authority of the Roman Senate. The abbreviated legend surrounds the S C in a circular arrangement along the coin's periphery, naming the reigning emperor Gaius (Caligula) with his full titulature. The design is austere and unadorned, conforming to the standard format for Julio-Claudian aes coinage. The broad, open field flanking the S C is undecorated, emphasizing the prominence of the senatorial mark. The flan edges are slightly irregular, consistent with hammered production. |
