| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line votive inscription — S P Q R / OB / CIV SER — displayed within a corona civica, the civic oak-wreath crown traditionally awarded to those who saved the lives of Roman citizens. The wreath, formed of oak leaves and acorns, encircles the central field inscription and is tied at the base with a decorative knot. This reverse type, which appeared extensively under the Flavian dynasty, evokes the Augustan precedent of the corona civica and conveys the emperor's role as protector of Roman citizens. The design is austere and monumental, with the inscription serving as the sole decorative and textual element within the wreath border. |
