| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the arched façade of the Temple of Janus Geminus in frontal perspective, shown as a rectangular structure with a double-arched roof. To the right is a latticed window, and to the left are double doors with a garland draped across them, symbolizing the closing of the temple in a gesture of universal peace. The closed doors of the Temple of Janus were a powerful propaganda motif, signifying that Rome was at peace on land and sea. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field. The reverse legend encircles the design, referencing the Augustan tradition of the pax romana. |
