Rx: P M TR P XVII IMP VIII [CO]S VII P P S C Securitas seated left holding scepter and extending right hand towards child before her representing the Human Race; star in right field. BM 701. C 576. RIC 611. The deity on reverse is traditionally described as Pietas but a recently discovered aureus which adds the descriptive legend SEC GEN HVM to the same type (Spink 65, 1988, 246, now coll. Ben Damsky) proves that she is actually Securitas and the child before her presumably the Human Race. Ex Gemini X, 13 January 2013, lot 577; with auction ticket.
