Several figures, likely rowers or sailors, are discernible along the deck. The legend FELICITATI AVG is distributed in the field, while COS III P P appears in the exergue below the ship, with S C flanking the design as senatorial authorization. The reverse type commemorates the felicity and prosperity associated with the emperor's celebrated voyages.
