The reverse shows the twins Romulus and Remus suckling with the wolf who raised them. The twins were the heirs of king Numitor who was dethroned by his own brother Amulius. Amulius killed the kings son and forced the kings daughter Rhea to become a priestess of Vesta. This however didn't solve his problem because Rhea became pregnant by the wargod Mars and gave birth to a pair of twins. To make sure these last rightful heirs where disposed of Amulius ordered a servant to kill the newborn twins. The servant didn't want to kill them outright and put them in a basket that he left in the river Tiber, fortunately they washed ashore and where found and suckled by a wolf. Later they were found and raised by a shepherd called Faustulus. When they were grown up they reclaimed their rightful throne by killing Amulius. They decided to built a city on the very spot where they were found by the wolf. In those days it was customary for the eldest son to become king but since they were twins this was a bit difficult. They decided to leave the choice to the gods by the way of omens which eventually favored Romulus. Remus was very upset by this and when his brother started to lay out the walls of his new city he jumped over the tiny wall and said that this was what his enemies would do. Romulus was furious and answered: "Then this will be what happens to all these enemies" and with these words he killed his brother with a single stroke of his sword. The city was named after the new king Romulus and called Rome. The rest of his live Romulus was plagued by remorse over this tragic act of needless outrage. The end of the reign of the first king of Rome is suitably mysterious. Romulus was last seen when a thunder storm (send by his father Mars) wrapped itself around him and swept him away.

There are two stars above the wolf it is speculated that these are two stars from the Gemini constellation (the twins Romulus and Remus). There is a wreath between the two stars this is a mint sequence mark.

The exergue reads SCONST which stands for the second officina (the S for Secunda) of the Arelate mint. Minted between 330 and 340 A.D. The city of Arelate was renamed Constantina in 328 AD in honor of Constantine's eldest son Constantine II and later renamed Arelate again.

To distinguish between the two: Arelate uses CONST with the T at the end and uses ordinal letters (Prima, Secunda for 1st 2nd) to indicate the officina wheras Constantinople uses greek letters. So SCONST is Arelate second officina while BCONS would be Constantinople second (beta) officina.
