| Reverse description | The personification of Roma is depicted seated left upon a cuirass, holding a Victory on a globe in her right hand and a transverse spear in her left, in a composition asserting the eternal and invincible nature of the city of Rome. A star appears in the left field, serving as a secondary decorative and symbolic element. The mint mark PST is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the Rome mint workshop. The reverse type closely mirrors the standard Honorian siliqua reverse, reflecting Attalus's deliberate imitation of legitimate imperial coinage to bolster his political claims. |
