| Reverse description | The Dioscuri — Castor and Pollux — depicted nude, wearing their characteristic conical pilei (caps), standing facing one another with chlamys draped over their outer shoulders. Each figure leans upon a sceptre with the outer hand and holds a bridled horse with the inner hand. Between their feet, the she-wolf with the twin infants Romulus and Remus appears, facing left — an explicit reference to the divine origins of Rome, a recurring propagandistic motif on Maxentian coinage. The reverse legend is distributed across the field in multiple attested die variants. |
