| Reverse description | The Genius of the Roman People (Genius Populi Romani) depicted standing facing left, nude save for a chlamys draped over the left shoulder and falling low. A modius (grain measure) adorns the head, symbolizing abundance. The right hand extends a patera from which a libation flows, while the left arm cradles a cornucopiae. A mint-mark appears in the exergue, identifying the Cyzicus workshop and officina letter. The composition follows the canonical Tetrarchic Genius type introduced under Diocletian's monetary reform. |
