| Reverse description | The emperor Tetricus I stands in full figure facing right, clad in military attire including paludamentum and cuirass, holding a lance transversely in his right hand and a globe in his left hand, symbolising imperial authority over the world. The composition reflects standard late Roman imperial iconographic conventions for the depiction of the emperor in his role as commander-in-chief. The encircling Latin legend records his tribunician power and consulship. The field is plain, with no exergual inscription. |
