| Reverse description | The personification of Virtus (martial valor) depicted standing to the right, her right foot resting upon a helmet placed upon the ground, symbolizing military triumph. She holds a spear upright in her right hand and a parazonium (short military sword) in her left. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman sculptural tradition, conveying the ideological association between imperial rule and military virtue. The senatorial mark of authority, S C (Senatus Consultum), appears in the field flanking the central figure, and the reverse legend arcs around the upper periphery. |
