| Reverse description | A camp gate depicted facing, without doors, surmounted by two turrets, with a star positioned in the upper field above the battlements. The gate is rendered with a varying number of horizontal stone courses between the towers, a characteristic feature distinguishing individual officina dies within this issue. The reverse legend arcs across the upper field, while the mintmark appears in the exergue below the gate. The design evokes themes of military preparedness and imperial foresight, consistent with the PROVIDENTIAE CAESS coinage programme of Constantine I for his Caesars. |
