| Reverse description | Victory advancing left, her large wings spread prominently behind her, holding a shield inscribed SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus) in her left hand and a palm branch in her right. The figure is rendered in a dynamic striding pose, conveying martial triumph. The flanking senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) appear in large letters to the left and right of the central figure respectively. The composition follows the standard Neronian as reverse type associated with RIC I 543, with the exergue area plain. |
