Reverse description The goddess Victoria stands facing left, rendered as a winged female figure in flowing drapery. She rests her left foot upon a helmet and leans forward to inscribe a large round shield set upon a short column or cippus, holding a palm branch over her left shoulder — a composition celebrating the Flavian victory, most likely referencing the Jewish War. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the central device. The encircling legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI runs around the periphery in bold Latin capitals. The overall composition is dynamic and finely executed in the Flavian artistic idiom.
