| Reverse description | The goddess Fortuna, fully draped in flowing robes, stands facing left in a composed and dignified pose. She holds a rudder in her right hand, resting on the prow of a ship — an attribute symbolising her governance of fate and navigation — and a cornucopiae (horn of plenty) in her left hand, signifying prosperity and abundance. The senatorial legend S C (Senatus Consulto) flanks the figure in the field to left and right, authorising the bronze issue, while the dedicatory legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI is distributed around the periphery. |
