| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Livia (Diva Augusta), draped in long robes, facing left in a dignified and hieratic pose. Her right hand extends forward holding a patera, the ritual libation vessel symbolising her deified status, while her left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The figure is rendered with fine drapery lines consistent with Julio-Claudian artistic conventions, and occupies the central field of the flan. The two-word legend DIVA AVGVSTA appears in the field around the figure, affirming her posthumous consecration decreed under Claudius and invoked again by Galba to assert dynastic legitimacy. |
