| Reverse description | The personification of Fortuna depicted standing to the left, fully draped in classical robes, holding a ship's rudder downward in her right hand, symbolising divine guidance over fate, and a cornucopia in her left hand, representing abundance and prosperity. The figure is rendered in a calm, static pose typical of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian reverse iconography. The legend FORTVNA AVG is inscribed in the field surrounding the figure, invoking the good fortune of the emperor. The composition fills the flan in a balanced arrangement characteristic of Roman imperial silver coinage of this period. |
