Reverse description A Roman soldier, helmeted and in military dress, stands facing left in the center of the field, holding a labarum (chi-rho standard) in his right hand and resting his left hand on a shield at his side. To the right, a smaller figure of a barbarian warrior kneels in a posture of submission, turned toward the soldier. The scene conveys Roman military supremacy and imperial propaganda. The divided legend FEL TEMP - REPARATIO flanks the figures at left and right, with the officina letter and mint mark ASIS (with an inverted letter denoting the officina) visible in the exergue.
