| Reverse description | Venus Felix seated left on a throne or chair, her drapery falling in elegant folds around her lower body, her right arm extended forward and presenting a small standing Cupid figure who faces her, while her raised left hand holds a long sceptre. The goddess is depicted helmeted, consistent with her syncretised role, and the composition conveys divine authority and imperial favour. The reverse legend VENERIS FELICIS is divided across the field, flanking the enthroned figure to left and right. |
