| Reverse description | The reverse features the large senatorial monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently displayed in the central field, the two letters bold and widely spaced, signifying the authority of the Roman Senate over base-metal coinage. A circular legend surrounds the central device along the periphery, bearing the names MESSALLA APRONIVS and the abbreviated formula A A A F F, denoting the moneyers' responsibility for the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze coinage. The field is otherwise plain, enclosed within a beaded border. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and green patina typical of Augustan-era quadrantes. |
