| Reverse description | The large letters S C (Senatus Consultum), signifying senatorial authority over bronze coinage, occupy the central field in bold, widely spaced characters. The surrounding circular legend reads SISENNA GALVS A A A F F, naming the moneyers Sisenna and Galus with the abbreviated formula Auro Argento Aere Flando Feriundo, denoting their charge over the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze coinage. A row of pellets (dots) is visible to the left of the S C monogram, a decorative feature consistent with this issue. The reverse composition is purely epigraphic, with no figurative or symbolic imagery beyond the dominant S C mark of value. The overall style reflects the functional, text-focused aesthetic of Augustan small bronze denominations struck at Rome. |
