| Reverse description | Trajan standing left, extending his right hand in a gesture of beneficence toward the personification of Italia, who kneels before him holding a globe. Two children stand between the two figures, symbolizing the restoration and renewal of Italy under Trajan's patronage. The composition is arranged in a dignified, hieratic style typical of Trajanic imperial reverse types, with the legend encircling the scene within a beaded border. |
