| Reverse description | The goddess Ceres, veiled and fully draped, is depicted seated left upon an ornately decorated throne. In her extended right hand she holds stalks of grain, emblematic of her dominion over agriculture and the harvest, while her left hand grasps a long transverse torch. The reverse legend CERES AVGVSTA appears in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C flanking the lower portion of the design, affirming the coin's issuance under senatorial decree. The composition reflects the Claudian policy of associating imperial legitimacy with divine agricultural abundance. |
