Reverse description A prow of a Roman galley (rostrum) facing right, depicted in characteristic Republican semis style with detailed structural elements including the outrigger and ram visible in the field. Above the prow the moneyer's abbreviated name CN. DOMI (for Gnaeus Domitius) appears in the upper field, while ROMA is inscribed below or around the prow, asserting the mint authority. The value mark S (semis) is present in the field. The composition reflects the standard iconographic program established for Republican bronze fractions, with the prow motif introduced after the First Punic War as a symbol of Roman naval power.
