| Reverse description | An eagle, the quintessential symbol of imperial apotheosis and Roman consecration imagery, strides to the right atop a sceptre, its head turned back to the left in a commanding pose. The wings are spread slightly, rendered with fine feather detail characteristic of Trajanic die engraving. The composition conveys the deification of the deceased honoree, a standard motif on consecratio coinage. The legend CONSECRATIO arcs across the upper field, affirming the formal deification rite. The reverse field is broadly open, focusing attention on the majestic eagle. |
