| Reverse description | Jupiter, nude, standing to the left, his weight resting on his left leg; he holds a thunderbolt downward in his extended right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left hand. At his feet to the left, an eagle stands facing, holding a wreath in its beak, serving as the divine attribute of Jupiter and symbol of imperial legitimacy. The composition is rendered in the vigorous, compact style of the Tetrarchic period, conveying the emperor's close association with the king of the gods as his divine protector. |
