Reverse description The winged figure of Pax-Nemesis advancing to the right, depicted in flowing drapery which she gathers with her raised right hand. Her lowered left hand extends a caduceus downward toward a serpent on the ground, symbolising the subjugation of strife and divine retribution. The composition conveys imperial peace enforced through divine authority, a potent propagandistic image associated with Claudius's early reign and his British campaigns. The reverse legend is inscribed in the field, framing the allegorical scene.
