| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Annona, the personification of the Roman grain supply, standing facing left in long robes. In her extended right hand she holds a bundle of corn ears, while her left hand rests on an upright rudder, symbolizing the maritime transport of grain to Rome. At her feet to the lower left appears the prow of a ship, further emphasizing the naval dimension of the annona system. The design is framed by a beaded border, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C flanking the central figure in the field. The composition reflects the standard iconographic programme employed on Hadrianic bronze coinage to celebrate the stability of the imperial grain supply. |
