| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the emperor standing in military attire to the right, raising a seated female figure — personifying Roma or the Roman state — from a kneeling or crouching position, a scene emblematic of the REPARATIO REIPVB type. The emperor extends his right hand to lift the figure, who is draped and holds a Victory or globe in her left hand, symbolizing the restoration and renewal of the Roman commonwealth. The composition conveys imperial beneficence and the promise of political recovery. The encircling legend REPARATIO-REIPVB frames the scene, and the exergue bears the mint mark CONSA, identifying the first officina of the Constantinople mint. A horizontal line separates the exergual inscription from the main reverse field. |
