| Reverse description | A Roman war galley (navis longa) depicted in profile sailing to the right, with a prominent bank of oars rendered as diagonal lines along the hull and oarsmen visible within the vessel. The ship features a curved prow and a stern ornament, conveying naval military power. The legend is arranged in the field above and below the galley in two lines. This type alludes to Clodius Macer's command of the African fleet and his control of the grain supply to Rome during his revolt. |
