| Reverse description | The goddess Fortuna, draped, stands facing left in a composed, frontal pose. In her right hand she holds a branch and a rudder resting upon a globe, symbolising guidance and divine providence, while her left hand grasps a cornucopiae, emblematic of abundance and prosperity. The figure is rendered in the calm, classical style typical of early Flavian state coinage. The reverse legend FORTVNAE REDVCI appears in the field, with the senatorial authorisation S C (Senatus Consulto) flanking the central figure. |
