| Reverse description | Annona, the personification of the imperial grain supply, seated left on a throne, holding in her right hand a bag or bundle of corn-ears, symbolizing Rome's provision of grain to its populace. The figure is rendered in the dignified, classicizing style typical of Flavian bronzes. The exergual area is plain, while the legend ANNONA AVGVST appears in the field above and around the figure, with the senatorial authority mark S C prominently displayed in the lower field to either side of the seated deity. |
