| Reverse description | A calf or young bull (vitulus) standing to the left in the central field, rendered in naturalistic relief, serving as a visual pun on the moneyer's cognomen Vitulus (meaning 'calf'). The legend Q•VOCONIVS appears above the bull in the upper field, while VITVLVS•Q• is inscribed in the lower field beneath the animal. The abbreviations S and C (Senatus Consulto) flank the bull on either side in the mid-field, indicating the issue was authorised by decree of the Senate. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the overall composition reflects the accomplished engraving style of the late Roman Republic. |
