| Reverse description | Two Victories standing facing one another, each holding a shield inscribed VOT V MVLT X, set upon an altar between them, rendered in the standard late Roman allegorical style. The main reverse legend VICTORIAE DD NN AVG ET CAE encircles the design, invoking the victories of the lords Augustus and Caesar. The exergue contains the mint mark RPLG, denoting the first officina of the Lugdunum mint. The composition is symmetrical and hieratic, reflecting the propagandistic intent of the usurper Magnentius's coinage celebrating shared imperial victories. |
