| Reverse description | A she-wolf advancing to the left, depicted in profile with characteristic Roman naturalism, evoking the legendary Capitoline Wolf and the mythological founding of Rome. The animal is rendered with musculature suggested in low relief, its body elongated across the central field of the flan. Beneath the wolf in the lower field, the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is inscribed in two capital letters separated by the exergual line, indicating that this bronze issue was struck under the authority of the Roman Senate. The composition is spare and emblematic, referencing Rome's foundational mythology on even the smallest denomination. The reverse field shows a granular patinated surface consistent with age and circulation. |
