| Reverse description | A military trophy occupies the centre of the field, composed of captured arms and armour including two large oval shields flanking a central cuirass, with a sword and javelins arranged upon a tropaeum post set on a low base, conveying Rome's martial dominance over conquered peoples. The design is rendered in crisp, schematic relief typical of Trajanic reverse types commemorating the Dacian victories. The encircling legend is divided around the trophy, with the titles reading continuously from left to right across the upper and lower field. |
