| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple of Vesta depicted in frontal elevation, with columns framing the interior scene. Within the cella, a curule chair (sella curulis) is shown, referencing the Cassian family's hereditary claim to this magistracy; to the left stands an urn (cista) and to the right a voting tablet inscribed A C (Absolvo/Condemno), alluding to the judicial lex Cassia tabellaria of 137 BC introduced by an ancestor of the moneyer. A border of dots surrounds the design. |
