Reverse description Pax, the personification of Peace, depicted standing left in flowing robes, her weight resting gracefully against a tall column to her right. She extends her left arm forward to hold a caduceus, and raises an olive branch in her right hand. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the central figure. The legend PAX AVGVST is disposed around the periphery, and the composition conveys the Flavian dynastic message of restored peace and imperial order.
