| Reverse description | A war galley (navis longa) depicted in profile facing right, with multiple oars extending below the hull and oarsmen visible at the rowing benches, referencing the naval power Clodius Macer commanded in Africa. The vessel is rendered with the ram (rostrum) at the prow and an elevated stern, conveying military might and the strategic importance of the African fleet. The reverse legend PROPRAE AFRICAE, distributed around the field and exergue, declares the issuer's title of Pro Praetor of Africa. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded border, and the style reflects the hastily produced nature of this short-lived provincial coinage struck during the civil strife of AD 68. |
