| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large senatorial authorization mark S·C (Senatus Consultum) in prominent incuse letters at the center of the field, denoting that this issue was struck by authority of the Roman Senate. Encircling the central mark, a continuous legend runs around the periphery of the flan, naming the moneyer Marcus Sanquinius and his office as Triumvir Monetalis responsible for the casting and striking of gold, silver, and bronze coinage. The border shows a finely beaded or dotted rim. The composition is characteristic of the Augustan senatorial bronze coinage, with the S·C dominating the design in a manner that emphasizes the Senate's role in authorizing aes coinage. |
