Obverse: VRBS ROMA (literally "City of Rome") - Bust of Roma, left, helmeted, wearing imperial mantle.
Reverse: She-wolf left suckling Romulus and Remus, two stars above. In exergue, seems to be •ΓSIS•.
- Romulus and Remus are the twin brothers who led to the founding of the city of Rome.
- The two stars represent the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux), sons of Zeus.
- SIS is for Siscia mint and Γ for its 3rd officina.
