Reverse description The personification of Annona, the goddess of the grain supply, is depicted seated left on a throne or chair, draped in flowing robes. She holds a cornucopiae in her left arm, symbolizing abundance, while her right hand extends forward, likely holding grain ears or a patera. A modius or ship's stern (apluster) may be discernible at her feet, referencing the maritime grain trade. The surrounding Latin legend ANNONA AVG encircles the field, proclaiming the imperial grain supply under Vespasian's authority.
