| Reverse description | Roma personified, helmeted and in military attire, seated left upon a cuirass, holding in her extended right hand a Victory figure bearing a wreath and a palm branch over the shoulder, while her left hand rests on an inverted spear with spur. The composition is a classic late Roman allegory of Roman military virtue and imperial authority. The figure is depicted in a stately, frontal-facing seated pose with drapery falling across the lower body. The divided Latin legend VIRTVS RO-MANORVM, meaning 'The Virtue of the Romans,' frames the design, with the mint mark MDPS appearing in the exergue indicating the Mediolanum mint. |
