| Reverse description | The large monogram SC (Senatus Consultum), denoting senatorial authority over bronze coinage, dominates the central field in bold, deeply struck letters. Encircling the SC is a continuous Latin legend naming the moneyer Cnaeus Calpurnius Piso, son of Cnaeus, in his capacity as Triumvir Monetalis responsible for the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze coinage. The legend is arranged in a single unbroken band close to the coin's edge, consistent with the typology of Augustan aes coinage struck under the authority of the tresviri monetales. The overall layout is austere and epigraphic, reflecting the official and institutional character of the senatorial bronze issue. |
