The Dupondius coin features an interesting reverse design, which depicts the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, Ceres, standing left, holding a grain ear and a torch. This imagery symbolizes the prosperity and abundance of the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD).
