Reverse description Victoria Navalis personified as a winged female figure, rendered nude or semi-draped, standing facing left atop the prow of a galley (rostrum). She raises a wreath in her outstretched right hand and holds a palm frond in her left, celebrating naval triumph. The composition commemorates Vespasian's rise to power during the civil wars and the Flavian dynasty's assertion of military supremacy at sea. The senatorial authorization mark S C appears in the lower field beneath the prow, flanked by a beaded border. The peripheral legend VICTORIA NAVALIS is distributed around the figure.
