| Reverse description | Ceres, veiled and draped, seated to the left, holding corn-ears in her right hand and a long torch in her left, facing Annona, draped, standing to the right with her right hand resting on her hip and her left hand holding a cornucopiae. Between the two figures, a modius rests upon a garlanded altar in the center field; a ship's stern (aplustre) is visible in the background to the right, alluding to Rome's grain supply by sea. The composition, arranged symmetrically within the broad sestertius flan, conveys the ideological message of imperial abundance and the emperor's provision for the Roman populace. The senatorial authorization mark S C appears prominently in the field. |
