| Reverse description | The goddess Felicitas stands facing left in the field, rendered in high relief in the Roman allegorical tradition. She holds a caduceus in her right hand and a long sceptre or cornucopiae in her left, attributes emblematic of prosperity and divine favour. The figure is draped in a long garment falling to her feet, with the drapery articulated in fine linear folds. The surrounding Latin legend FELICITAS COS II encircles the type, referencing Albinus's second consulship and invoking the concept of good fortune. The flat, granular field and irregular flan edge are consistent with hammered production at the Rome mint during the 194–195 period. |
