Reverse description Victory advancing left, draped and winged, holding a wreath in her right hand and a palm frond over her left shoulder, treading upon a bound captive or enemy figure prostrate at her feet. The scene is a standard Victory type employed extensively on late Roman AE coinage to symbolize the salvation and perpetuity of the Roman state. The reverse legend SALVS REI-PVBLICAE encircles the type, with the mint mark of Constantinople appearing in the exergue. The coin exhibits a green patina consistent with prolonged burial.
