Farming.

Text: HOR. TVA CAESAR AETAS FRUGES ET AGRIS RETTVLIT VBERES
Thy age, O Caesar, has restored to farms their plenteous corps

Quotation from Horace, Odae 4,15,4-5

A female character with a cornucopia, horn of plenty, two children, the eagle of Jupiter, a medallion in the background with a form of a horse with a fish tale, a hippocamp.

The motive and text may also refer to the campaign "Struggle for the grain", which was launched in 1925 in order to make Italy self-sufficient in cereals after a disastrous harvest.
