| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P (Translation: Imperator, Caesar, Nervae Traiano Augustus, Germanicus, Dacicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Consul Sextum, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, of Nerva Trajan, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, conqueror of the Dacians, high priest, holder of tribunician power, consul for the sixth time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Felicitas, draped in a long flowing chiton, stands facing left in a poised, frontal contrapposto stance. In her raised right hand she holds a long winged caduceus pointing upward, the traditional symbol of prosperity and divine favour, while her left hand cradles a cornucopiae, emblematic of abundance. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery folds, conveying a sense of serene monumentality consistent with Trajanic imperial artistic conventions. The reverse legend FELICITAS AVGVST appears in the upper field, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed in the lower field on either side of the figure's base. |
