| Reverse description | A seated figure, identified as Roma or an imperial personification, faces left or frontally, holding a spear in one hand and a Victory on a globe in the other, in a composition derived from late Roman imperial reverse types. The design is enclosed by a peripheral Latin legend. The reverse imagery draws on established Roman iconographic convention, adapted by the Vandal mint at Carthage to lend legitimacy to their coinage through association with the Western imperial tradition. |
