| Reverse description | The personification of Fides Publica (Public Faith/Loyalty) depicted as a draped female figure standing left, extending a patera in her raised right hand and cradling a cornucopiae in her left arm. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical tradition common to Flavian bronze coinage, with drapery falling in naturalistic folds. The legend FIDES PVBLICA appears in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure in the lower field, affirming the senate's authorization of this bronze issue. |
