| Reverse description | A kneeling barbarian captive is depicted in the center of the field, shown in profile facing right on one knee, presenting or surrendering a Roman military standard surmounted by a vexillum to the victor, symbolizing the recovery of standards and Roman military supremacy over foreign enemies. The figure is rendered nude or seminude, conveying subjugation, in a pose evoking Flavian-era propaganda commemorating Rome's victories on the Rhine and Danube frontiers. The legend COS V appears in the lower exergual area beneath the figure, and the reverse is enclosed within a beaded border. |
