Reverse description The Genius of Augustus (Genius Augusti) is depicted standing facing left, draped in a toga or sacrificial garment, extending a patera in his right hand over a small altar at his feet and holding a cornucopia in his left hand. The figure conveys the imperial cult iconography associated with the emperor's divine spirit. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the central field flanking the figure, with the legend GENIO AVGVSTI distributed around the periphery. The rendering, though showing some wear, is characteristic of the Rome mint's Neronian bronze coinage style. A beaded border surrounds the design.
