| Reverse description | Frontal architectural elevation of the Macellum Magnum, Nero's grand imperial market building in Rome, rendered in detailed relief with a domed or tholos-like central structure flanked by colonnaded wings and a broad staircase in the foreground. A male figure stands to the left above the steps, holding a sceptre. The legend MAC AVG appears in the upper field, with the senatorial authority mark S C distributed on either side in the lower field. The reverse exemplifies the Roman numismatic tradition of commemorating major public building works through detailed architectural depictions. |
