| Reverse description | The personification of Salus seated left upon a high-backed throne, draped, extending her right hand to hold a patera over a snake-entwined altar to her left. The composition employs the standard iconography of the goddess of health and well-being, conveying imperial piety and the prosperity of the Augustan household. The legend SALVS AVG is distributed in the upper field, identifying the reverse type, while the senatorial authority mark S C appears prominently in the lower field or exergue, affirming the senate's role in authorising bronze coinage. |
