| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Roma facing right, wearing a winged Attic helmet adorned with a decorative plume and feathers. The hair falls in loose curls below the helmet, and a pearl necklace is visible at the neck. A star symbol appears in the left field. The denomination mark X (denoting 10 asses) is positioned behind the head. The portrait is rendered in the confident, slightly archaic style characteristic of mid-Republican Roman coinage. |

| Reverse description | Victory driving a biga (two-horse chariot) at full gallop to the right, her drapery flowing behind her and her arm outstretched holding the reins. The horses are rendered with dynamic energy, their legs fully extended. The moneyer's abbreviated name P•CALP appears in the exergual field above ROMA, with a star or control mark visible to the lower left. The legend ROMA is inscribed prominently in the exergue in capital letters, framing the composition. |
