| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a rostrum trireme (the bronze ram of a warship) depicted in left profile, rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of Augustan bronze coinage. Above the rostrum, a further naval element — a small boat or skiff — is shown in outline. The field is plain, and the circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads GALVS MESSALLA IIIVIR, identifying the two moneyers Galus and Messalla in their capacity as Triumviri Monetales, the magistrates responsible for the supervision of the mint. A dotted border frames the entire composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The tresviri monetales responsible for this quadrans — Sisenna and Apronius among them, with the A A A F F designation marking their oversight of bronze, silver, and gold coinage — operated under Augustus at a moment when the emperor was systematically restoring the coinage system after decades of civil war disruption. The S C on bronze issues of this period reflects senatorial authorization, a constitutional formality Augustus carefully maintained to project restored republican norms while concentrating effective power entirely in his own hands.
