| Reverse description | The goddess Ceres, draped, seated to the left upon a throne, her figure rendered in the dignified classical style favored by Flavian die cutters. In her extended right hand she holds corn-ears and a poppy, emblems of agricultural abundance and her divine domain, while her left hand grasps an upright torch, a reference to her search for Proserpina. The reverse legend TR POT X COS VIIII encircles the field, recording Vespasian's tenth tribunician power and ninth consulship, precisely dating this issue to AD 79. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
