| Reverse description | Standing figure of the young Britannicus depicted between two female figures: Octavia on the left, head turned right, and Antonia on the right, head turned left and holding a cornucopia; both female figures clasp hands across Britannicus, who stands facing with head to the left, uniting the three imperial children in a dynastic group composition. The legend naming each figure is arranged in the field. The scene conveys legitimacy and dynastic continuity under Claudius. |
