Reverse description The emperor stands facing left in military dress, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling female figure — personifying the Roman Republic or a province — from the ground, an iconographic motif of imperial restoration and beneficence. The composition is derived from the official REPARATIO REIPVB type but rendered with the schematic, abbreviated style typical of barbarous imitations produced in the Iberian Peninsula. A garbled or abbreviated Latin legend surrounds the central design, with a mint or workshop mark in the exergue that is largely illegible on this irregular flan.
