| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large monogram SC (Senatus Consultum) prominently in the central field, affirming senatorial authority over the bronze coinage, a standard feature of Augustan aes coinage. The letters are boldly rendered in high relief and occupy the majority of the flan. Surrounding the central SC, the legend APRONIVS GALVS A A A F F S C encircles the field, naming the moneyers Apronius and Galus along with their official title referencing the striking and casting of gold, silver, and bronze by senatorial decree. The flan is irregular and shows typical surface patination and die wear consistent with circulated Augustan quadrantes. The epigraphy is consistent with Roman monumental lettering conventions of the Augustan period. |
