| Reverse description | Pietas, veiled and draped, standing right before a lighted altar, raising her right hand in a gesture of supplication or prayer and holding a box of incense in her lowered left hand. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic pose befitting the personification of Roman piety. The legend appears in the upper field and the senatorial authority mark S C flanks the composition in the lower field. |
