Reverse description The personification of Annona, goddess of the grain supply, is depicted seated left upon a throne or chair of state, draped in robes and wearing a modius (grain measure) on her head. She extends her right hand holding a patera or bundle of corn-ears, while her left arm rests to her side. The figure is rendered in a dignified, classicizing style consistent with Flavian imperial iconography. The legend ANNONA AVGVST is disposed around the upper field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central figure in the lower field.
