Reverse description A campgate depicted with two turrets, between which a star appears in the upper field, symbolising divine favour and imperial hope — a type emblematic of late Roman coinage rhetoric. The gate is rendered with crenellations atop each turret and a central portal below. The legend SPES ROMANORVM ('The Hope of the Romans') encircles the type, while the exergue carries the mintmark identifying the Aquileia mint and its officina (SMAQP for the first officina or SMAQS for the second).
