Reverse description The personification of Securitas (Security of the Roman People) stands facing left in a stately full-length pose, clad in a long, flowing stola and palla. She holds a long vertical sceptre or hasta in her right hand and extends her left arm outward, offering a patera or wreath toward the field. A small serpent appears at her feet in the lower left, a common attribute reinforcing themes of peace and stability. The surrounding legend SECVRITAS P R, separated by a dot, is arranged around the beaded border. The composition reflects the standard Flavian-era allegorical type employed to proclaim the security and welfare of the Roman people under Otho's brief reign.
