| Reverse description | A war galley (navis) depicted in profile facing left, rendered in fine detail with a row of oar-ports along the hull, a curved stern ornament (aplustre), and a prominent ram (rostrum) at the prow. The vessel is shown underway, evoking the maritime power and strategic importance of Africa's coastline to Macer's revolt. Above the galley, the legend PRO / PRAE is inscribed in two lines within the field, while AFRICAE curves along the lower exergual area, together reading PROPRAE AFRICAE — proclaiming Macer's title as Legatus Pro Praetore of the province of Africa. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border and reflects the propagandistic intent of the issue, asserting both military command and provincial authority. |
