| Reverse description | The personification of Pietas stands facing, rendered in full figure draped in a long stola and palla. Her right arm is extended outward in a gesture of offering or supplication toward a lighted altar placed before her at left, while her left hand holds a sceptre or long staff at her side. A small figure, likely a child, appears at lower right, emphasizing the familial and religious connotations of the Pietas allegory. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the central figure, with the legend PIETAS AVG distributed around the upper periphery. |
