| Reverse description | Fides, the personification of military loyalty, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, rendered in full figure in the field. She holds a legionary standard in each outstretched hand, symbolizing the allegiance of the army to the Gallic emperor. The figure is rendered with typical third-century provincial style, with drapery falling in broad folds. The reverse legend FIDES MILITVM is distributed around the field within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the importance of military loyalty as a propagandistic theme central to Postumus's legitimacy. |
