| Reverse description | Dikaiosyne, the personification of Justice, stands facing left in the field, rendered as a draped female figure. In her extended right hand she holds a set of scales (balance), and in her left arm she carries a cornucopiae (horn of plenty), symbolising righteous abundance. The regnal date in Greek numerals appears to the left of the figure, within a dotted border. The composition follows the standard Alexandrian allegorical reverse type common to the reigns of the soldier-emperors of the third century. |
