Reverse description Two war galleys (quinqueremes) depicted in profile sailing to the right, their rams and oar banks rendered in stylized relief. The legend ROMA CN·PISO·FRVGI is arranged around the field, identifying the issuing authority as the moneyer Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso Frugi and the city of Rome. The reverse design alludes to Roman naval power, consistent with late Republican monetary iconography celebrating military strength.
