Providentia's attributes usually included a baton and globe but, in the case of this image, she may also be shown holding a cornucopia.
Some coin types in which the legend PROVIDENTIAE AVGG or PROVIDENTIAE CAESS commemorating the birth of a son to the imperial family show a Roman army Camp Gate instead of the figure of Providentia. In the legend above, the spelling of the abbreviation CAESS with a double S indicates that the emperor has provided the people with more than one son who was given the rank of Caesar (Constantine's son Constantine II in this case).
