| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, unadorned inscription arranged in three lines within the field, entirely enclosed by a large, finely detailed oak wreath (corona civica) tied at the base with a ribbon or fillet. The oak wreath, a traditional Roman civic honor awarded to those who saved the lives of citizens, frames the dedicatory legend prominently. The design is austere and monumental, with no additional figures or exergual markings, the entire composition conveying the formal gratitude of the Roman Senate and People to their emperor. The wreath's acorns and foliage are rendered with careful naturalistic detail typical of early Trajanic coinage. |
