Reverse description The personification of Felicitas, the divine embodiment of imperial good fortune and prosperity, stands facing left in flowing robes within the open field. She extends her right hand forward, likely offering a patera or clasping hands in a gesture of beneficence, while her left hand holds a caduceus, the winged staff symbolizing peace and commerce. To her left stands a second, smaller figure — possibly a togatus or suppliant — engaged with Felicitas in a scene evoking imperial largesse. The legend FELICITAS AVG flanks the figures in the upper field, with the senatorial authorization marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) placed in the lower field to either side, all within a beaded border.
