| Reverse description | A cross potent mounted atop a globus cruciger, elevated on three graduated steps, rendered in a bold, hieratic style characteristic of early Byzantine silver coinage. The cross dominates the field, serving as a powerful Christian symbol of imperial victory and divine authority. A circular Latin devotional legend surrounds the central motif, reading DEUS ADIUTA ROMANIS, invoking God's aid for the Romans. The stepped base, known as the Calvary mount, alludes to the True Cross and the theological program of Heraclius's reign. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered Byzantine production. |
