| Reverse description | A large eagle stands facing, viewed from the front, with wings dramatically spread to either side, perched atop a globe symbolising Roman universal sovereignty. The eagle's head is turned to the right, and the powerful, detailed feathering of the wings and body is rendered in high relief, characteristic of Flavian imperial bronze coinage. The senatorial authority marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) are positioned in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the central device. The composition occupies the majority of the flan, with the globe at the base lending a sense of balance and imperial gravitas to the design. |
