| Reverse description | A schematic representation of an altar or modius rendered in rectangular form with projecting cornices at the upper corners, occupying the central field of the flan. The senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) flank the central device to left and right respectively, while the legend PROVIDEN appears along the lower exergual area, invoking the virtue of Providentia — divine foresight and imperial providence. The design is bold and symmetrical, typical of Flavian aes coinage struck for broad circulation. |
