| Reverse description | The personification of Saeculum Frugiferum (the Fruitful Age), depicted as a bearded male figure wearing a fez-like headdress and a long draped robe, seated left upon a throne supported by sphinxes on either side. The figure raises the right hand in a gesture of benediction or offering, while the left hand holds ears of grain, symbolising agricultural abundance. The composition is rendered in a hieratic, static style evoking oriental religious iconography. The reverse legend is distributed around the field, naming the type and recording Albinus's second consulship. |
