Reverse description Standing figure of Genius, the divine guardian spirit of the Roman people, depicted nude with a chlamys draped over the left shoulder and a modius (grain measure) atop the head, facing left. In the right hand Genius extends a patera for libation, while the left arm cradles a cornucopiae, symbolising abundance and prosperity. The composition is rendered in the stiff, frontal Tetrarchic style typical of the Londinium mint. No mintmark appears in the exergue or field, consistent with the early issues of RIC VI 6b. The encircling legend GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI is divided by the figure.
