| Reverse description | The goddess Salus, personification of health and well-being, is depicted seated to the left on a high-backed throne, draped in flowing robes. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera over a snake-entwined altar positioned before her, the serpent rising to feed from the vessel — a standard iconographic attribute of Salus in imperial coinage. The composition is set within a plain field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently flanking the central type, and the abbreviated legend disposed around the periphery. The design reflects the refined classicizing aesthetic characteristic of Hadrianic bronzes. |
