Reverse description Standing figure of the Genius Populi Romani facing left, depicted as a togate male holding a patera in the right hand extended over a small flaming altar and a cornucopiae in the left hand. The composition conveys imperial piety and divine favour, with the Genius serving as the tutelary spirit of the Roman people and, by extension, of the emperor himself. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central figure in the field, attesting to the senate's prerogative over bronze coinage. The legend is disposed around the figure in the field.
