| Reverse description | A she-wolf standing right, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus, with a figure, likely a togated founder or military standard-bearer, standing to the left. This founding myth imagery was deliberately chosen to emphasize the Roman colonial identity of Emerita Augusta. The legend PERM CAE AVG arcs around the design, indicating the coinage was struck by permission of the emperor Augustus. The scene is rendered in a bold, if somewhat rustic, provincial style within a plain circular border. |
