| Reverse description | Jupiter, nude but for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, stands facing left, holding in his right hand a small Victory set upon a globe and in his left hand a long vertical sceptre. An eagle stands at his left foot, wings closed, looking upward toward the deity. The Greek letter epsilon (ε) appears as a control mark in the right field, and the exergual mint mark SMN identifies the Nicomedian workshop. The surrounding Latin legend IOVI CONSERVATORI proclaims Jupiter as the divine protector of the emperor, a theological statement central to Constantinian propaganda before the full adoption of Christian iconography. |
