| Reverse description | Two emperors — Anthemius and the Eastern co-emperor Leo I — stand facing one another in full military dress, each holding a long spear in the outer hand; between them they jointly support a globus cruciger surmounted by a cross. A Christogram (chi-rho) appears in the central field, emphasizing the Christian imperial ideology of the period. The mint signature CORMOB occupies the exergue, identifying this piece as a solidus struck at Rome to the standard weight of the officina. The encircling Latin legend reads SALVS R-EI P-VBLICAE. |
