| Reverse description | Minerva, goddess of wisdom and war, depicted standing to the left in full figure, extending her right hand to place incense upon a tall candelabrum positioned to her left, while her left hand holds a long vertical spear. At her feet to the right rests a round shield containing a coiled serpent, a classical Athenic attribute; the senatorial authorization legend is disposed in the field with S C flanking the central type. The composition reflects the formal, hieratic reverse typology characteristic of Hadrianic bronze coinage issued under senatorial sanction. |
