DVBNOVELLAVNVS.

Obverse, on some a device (placed diagonally across the coin) that may almost be taken to be the thunderbolt of Jove, between two circles that may be the wheel of Nemesis, the emblem of swift and retributive justice, as not unfrequently represented in Roman art; or a laureated head, with DVBNO; or other device. Reverse, on some a horse with or without a wreath or branch below and other minor devices, with the letters DVBNO ..., [DV]BNOVELL ..., DVBNOVIILLA, [DVBNO]VIILLAVN, or DVBNO[VELLA]VNOS; or a griffin, or ornithocephalous winged horse with star and other ornaments; or a horse with DVBN in a tablet; or other varieties.
