| Reverse description | The personification of Via Traiana depicted as a reclining female figure, draped and turned to the left, with her left elbow resting upon a rock. Her left hand supports a wheel balanced upon her left knee, symbolising the road, while she holds a leafy branch in her right hand. The reverse legend is disposed around the field and exergue, referencing both the senatorial authority (S C) and the dedication of the new Appian Way extension. The composition reflects the commemorative nature of this issue, struck to celebrate the completion of the Via Traiana road from Beneventum to Brundisium. |
