In her right hand she holds a parazonium (short sword), while her left arm rests upon a grounded spear, evoking martial valor and imperial virtue. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical tradition common to Roman Imperial coinage, with the legend VIRTVS inscribed in the field, identifying the personification as the embodiment of courage and excellence. |
