The reverse features emblems of power, a cornucopiae on celestial globe between sceptre and rudder. This is one of a series of types connected with the triumphs of Julius Caesar and the traditions of his family. The symbols of power are undoubtedly meant to refer to the vast power that Caesar had acquired by 46 BC.
