| Reverse description | The goddess Victoria, winged and draped, stands facing right upon the prow of a warship (rostrum), symbolising Rome's naval supremacy. In her right hand she extends a laurel wreath, emblematic of victory, while her left hand holds a long palm branch, the traditional attribute of triumph. The composition commemorates Roman naval success, likely referencing operations during the Jewish War. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central device in the lower field, and the legend VICTORIA NAVALIS is inscribed across the field or along the periphery. |
