Reverse description A tetrastyle temple facade rendered in detailed relief, likely representing the Templum Pacis (Temple of Peace) or a triumphal arch structure, featuring a central arched opening flanked by columns, with a standing figure visible within the intercolumniation. The architectural entablature is surmounted by a triangular pediment decorated with a central acroterion figure, and the entire structure rests upon a stepped podium. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in large letters to the left and right of the temple in the field, a standard feature of Roman bronze coinage issued under senatorial authority.
