| Reverse description | The winged goddess Victoria is depicted seated right atop a globe, her wings spread behind her, holding a wreath or patera in her outstretched right hand, in a pose symbolic of universal Roman dominion. She is rendered in a fluid, naturalistic style consistent with Augustan and early Tiberian artistic conventions. The reverse legend TR POT XVII is distributed around the field, with the inscription partially below and to the right of the central figure, all contained within a beaded border. The globe beneath Victoria emphasizes the ideological claim of Roman rule over the world. The composition is compact yet dynamic, making effective use of the small flan typical of the gold quinarius denomination. |
