| Reverse description | Three figures occupy the central field in a ceremonial composition: at left, a standing military figure wearing a helmet and armour extends one hand forward while holding a spear or standard; at centre, a kneeling figure, likely a Dacian captive or supplicant, bows in submission; at right, a togate figure, representing Trajan or Roma, stands facing left and extends one arm toward the kneeling figure in a gesture of reception or clemency. The scene is rendered in bold relief with clear delineation of garments and postures. A beaded border encircles the design, and the legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI runs around the upper and lateral perimeter of the field, proclaiming the dedication of the Senate and People of Rome to the best of princes. |
