| Reverse description | The goddess Fortuna Redux seated left on a backless chair (sella), depicted draped in long robes. In her extended right hand she holds a rudder resting on the ground, symbolizing guidance and fate, while her left hand grasps a cornucopiae, emblematic of abundance. The reverse legend is divided around the field in the characteristic SPQR dedicatory formula, referencing the senatorial honour bestowed upon Trajan. The composition is calm and formal, consistent with the classicizing aesthetic of Trajanic imperial coinage. |
