| Reverse description | The emperor stands left aboard a ship, his head turned to the right, holding a Phoenix mounted on a globe in his right hand and a military standard in his left, with his right foot placed upon a prostrate captive. Victory stands at the helm guiding the vessel, a composition emblematic of imperial triumph over adversity. An officina letter appears in the left field, and the mintmark is placed in the exergue. The reverse legend VIRTVS-AVGGG, divided across the field, proclaims the martial virtue of the three co-reigning Augusti. The design reflects the propagandistic imagery of the Theodosian dynasty asserting Roman dominance. |
