Reverse description A turreted and draped female figure, personifying Africa, stands facing left in the field, holding a standard surmounted by a legionary eagle in her right hand and a globe in her left. At her feet to the lower left crouches a lion, the traditional symbol of the African continent. The mint mark SE appears in the left field, with A in the right field, and the officina letter I (prima officina) in the exergue. The legend CONSERVATOR AFRICAE SVAE, meaning 'Protector of his Africa', encircles the reverse, referencing Maxentius's political claim over the African provinces.
