| Reverse description | Ceres, veiled and draped, seated left on a throne, holding corn-ears in her right hand and a long torch in her left, facing Annona, draped, standing right with her right hand resting on her hip and her left hand holding a cornucopiae. Between the two figures, a modius is placed atop a garlanded altar at centre; in the background to the right, the stern of a ship is visible, symbolising the maritime grain supply to Rome. The composition is enclosed by a circular legend, with the senatorial authorization mark S C prominently displayed in the lower field. |
