Reverse: Victory in quadriga, L. IVLI BVRSIO in exergue
Vejovis was a Roman deity of uncertain attributes, at times being associated with the deity Apollo. The winged goddess Victory, parallel to the Greek Nike, was a common figure on coins, often seen driving a chariot, or flying above another deity who is driving. Occasionally, a diminutive Victory is held in the hand of the goddess Athena.
