| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large senatorial mark SC (Senatus Consultum) prominently centred within a decorative oak wreath (corona civica), symbolising the Senate's authority over the bronze coinage. The wreath is rendered with individual leaves tied at the base, a design motif typical of Tiberian-era bronze issues struck in honour of Augustus. The field surrounding the wreath is plain, and the flan shows characteristic hammered irregularity with patches of green patina and surface corrosion. |
