| Reverse description | Facing bust of Vacuna or a helmeted deity, shown frontally from the waist up, wearing a decorated cuirass with intricate ornamentation. Beneath the bust is a long horizontal tablet or voting tablet (tabella), with the inscription SORT across it, referencing the lot or sortition process. The legend M•PLAETORI•CEST•S•C runs around the periphery of the field — M•PLAETORI to the left and CEST•S•C to the upper right — identifying the moneyer Marcus Plaetorius Cestianus and the senatorial decree authorizing the issue. The composition is rendered in bold, somewhat stylized relief characteristic of Late Republican coinage. |
