The reverse legend, FATIS VICTRICIBVS, declares the Roman belief that destiny is in the hands of the Fates, the three goddesses of weaving - Clotho (the Spinner), Lachesis (the Alloter), and Atropos (the Inflexible). Respectively they assigned individual destinies to mortals at birth: Clotho spun the thread of life of every person, Lachesis measured its length, and Atropos cut it at the appropriate time.
