Reverse description The personification of Roma depicted in military dress, helmeted, standing in three-quarter pose turned to the left. In her extended right hand she holds a small figure of Victory standing upon a globe, while her left hand grasps a long vertical spear. The composition conveys Roma as the divine protectress of the empire, a standard reverse type employed during the Year of the Four Emperors to assert legitimacy. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears flanking the central figure in the field, with ROMA inscribed in the exergue or legend area.
