Reverse description Front elevation of the hexastyle Temple of Vesta depicted with six columns supporting an ornate entablature and pediment, with a cult statue visible above the structure. In the left field stands a voting urn (sitella), while the right field bears a voting tablet inscribed with the letters A C (Absolvo/Condemno), alluding to the trial of the Vestal Virgins presided over by Quintus Cassius Longinus. The surrounding legend IMP CAES TRAIAN AVG GER DAC P P REST identifies this as a restitution issue under Trajan. The architectural rendering is precise and schematic, consistent with Trajanic restruck Republican denarii.
