| Reverse description | The goddess Roma seated facing left on a throne or cuirass, helmeted and wearing military dress, her right hand extended and holding a branch or Victory figurine, her left hand resting on a large oval or round shield set against her side. The figure is rendered in a composed, frontal-facing seated pose characteristic of Hadrianic reverse types celebrating Roman eternity and martial virtue. The legend ROMA AETERNAE arcs around the upper periphery of the coin in evenly spaced Latin capitals, invoking the concept of the eternal city. The lower field and exergue are plain, with no additional mintmarks or symbols. |
