| Reverse description | The personification of Virtus Exerciti stands facing left in military dress, holding a standard (vexillum) in the left hand and extending the right hand to offer a wreath to a captive barbarian enemy kneeling at right. A cross or christogram symbol appears in the upper field, reflecting the Christian iconography increasingly adopted under Theodosian dynasty coinage. The divided legend VIRTVS E-XERCITI flanks the central scene, with the mint signature ANTS inscribed in the exergue, denoting the second officina of the Antioch mint. |
