| Reverse description | A wreath, rendered as a garland of fruiting vines with prominent grape clusters on both sides, occupies the central field, open at the top and tied at the base. A single pellet appears at the centre of the field within the wreath. The surrounding Latin legend FELICITAS TEMPOR is distributed around the periphery, reading clockwise, partially visible on this example. The composition is spare and emblematic, reflecting the Antiochene mint's distinctive reverse style during the brief reign of Niger, and conveys a propagandistic message of prosperous times under the usurper's rule. |
