| Reverse description | The reverse field is dominated by the large bold letters S C (Senatus Consultum) in the center, confirming senatorial authorization for the issue, flanked by a rostrum tridens (ship's prow) to the left. The surrounding peripheral legend names the moneyers Apronius and Messalla along with their full collegial title referencing the casting and striking of coinage in all metals by senatorial decree. The legend runs around the circumference of the irregular flan. The overall execution is characteristic of the Roman Republican-style moneyers' quadrans issues of the Augustan reform coinage. |
