Reverse description Within a large laurel wreath encircling the entire design, the moneyer's inscription M•PISO•M•F is rendered in two lines in the upper field, with FRVGI below, the letters struck in bold Roman capitals. Beneath the legend, in the lower portion of the field enclosed by the wreath, a wheel or rota appears as a subsidiary symbol, likely a further reference to the cognomen Frugi or to ancestral imagery associated with the Calpurnia gens. The laurel wreath border, with its carefully rendered leaves, lends the reverse a ceremonial quality consistent with issues of this period.
