Reverse description The personification of Pax depicted standing left in long draped robes, leaning gracefully against a column to her right. In her right hand she holds an olive branch extended outward, while her left hand bears a caduceus, the herald's staff symbolizing peace and commerce. The design is executed in the classicizing style of Flavian coinage, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently flanking the central figure in the field. The legend PAX AVGVST encircles the composition along the beaded border.
