| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas stands draped in full-length robes, facing left, holding a pileus (freedman's cap) in her extended right hand and a long vindicta (rod) in her left hand. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical tradition, conveying the symbolic abolition of Caligula's oppressive litigation tax. The field is divided by the large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum), and the reverse legend appears in the upper and lower registers with a beaded border. |
