Reverse description The personification of Spes (Hope) stands facing left in the field, rendered as a draped female figure in full length. She raises her right hand holding a flower toward her face, while her left hand gathers and lifts the hem of her garment in the canonical gesture associated with this deity. The large senatorial authorization marks S and C (Senatus Consultum) are placed flanking the figure in the left and right mid-fields respectively. The surrounding legend, distributed around the coin's periphery, identifies the restitution authority as Emperor Titus.
