| Reverse description | Three-line inscription EX SC / OB CIVES / SERVATOS displayed prominently within a civic oak wreath (corona civica), composed of detailed acorn-bearing oak leaves tied at the base with a ribbon or fillet. The wreath is rendered with naturalistic depth, its branches spreading symmetrically across the flan and enclosed within a beaded border. This type commemorates Claudius's receipt of the corona civica, the civic crown traditionally awarded to one who saved the lives of Roman citizens, here conferred by senatorial decree. The reverse design follows a well-established Augustan and Julio-Claudian honorific tradition, referencing the moral authority of the emperor as protector of the Roman people. |
