Reverse description The winged goddess Victoria advances to the left in a graceful, striding pose, her drapery flowing behind her. She holds a large oval shield inscribed with VIC in her outstretched right hand, resting it against a tall palm branch that rises vertically from the ground. The senatorial authorization letters S and C flank the central figure in the field to left and right respectively. The legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI curves along the upper periphery within a beaded border, celebrating the emperor's victory.
