| Reverse description | The personification of Pax (Peace) is depicted seated left on a throne or chair of state, draped in a flowing garment. She extends an olive branch forward in her right hand, symbolizing peace, while her left hand rests upon a long sceptre. The figure is rendered in a composed, hieratic posture typical of Trajanic allegorical reverses. The legend arcs around the upper field, with the authorizing mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently displayed in the lower exergual area, affirming senatorial sanction for the bronze coinage. |
