| Reverse description | Jupiter stands facing, head turned to the left, his nude body draped with a military chlamys over his left shoulder. In his raised right hand he holds a thunderbolt, while his left hand supports a long vertical sceptre. The deity's commanding stance and musculature reflect the classicising artistic conventions of the Tetrarchic period. The legend IOVI CONSERVATORI arcs across the upper field, affirming Jupiter's role as divine protector of the emperor. The mintmark SMN appears in the exergue, identifying the Nicomedia mint. |
