| Reverse description | A Roman soldier, rendered in three-quarter stance, stands facing left and thrusts a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen horseman who wears a Phrygian helmet and lies beside his horse beneath the soldier's feet. The soldier's left arm bears a large round shield, and his military dress is depicted with characteristic late antique stylization. A control letter appears in the left field, with a dot or pellet at centre field, while the mint and officina mark are placed in the exergue. The encircling reverse legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO, meaning 'Return of Happy Times,' frames the scene, referencing the Constantinian dynastic propaganda celebrating the restoration of Roman prosperity. |
