| Reverse description | Roma personified, helmeted and attired in military dress, seated left upon a cuirass; she extends her right hand to hold a small figure of Victory and grasps a vertical spear in her left hand, with a round shield propped against her side. Various military trophies and arms — including helmets, shields, and weapons — are scattered in the field and arranged around the seated figure, emphasizing Rome's martial supremacy. The composition is bold and well-centred, typical of the high-quality sestertius coinage produced under Nero's mint reform. The abbreviated legend and senatorial authority mark appear prominently in the field. |
