Obverse: Laureate head of Salus facing right. Reverse: Valetudo (Salus) standing left, holding a snake and leaning elbow on a column.

**Obverse context.** Salus, the Roman personification of public health and well-being, held particular significance for the moneyer's family: the Acilii Glabriones traced descent to Manius Acilius, who as consul in 191 BC was credited with founding or restoring her cult.

**Reverse context.** Valetudo, an alternative personification of health closely identified with Salus and with the Greek Hygieia, appears here in a guise borrowed directly from Hellenistic statuary types of Hygieia feeding the sacred serpent.

**Obverse legend translation.** SALVTIS, "of Salus," the genitive form naming the goddess whose head appears on the obverse.
