Reverse description Representation of a Roman city gate, shown as a turreted arch with a central arched passage flanked by two lateral towers, rendered in a schematic frontal view. The abbreviation EMERIT appears within or above the gateway, identifying the colony of Emerita Augusta. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads PERMISSV CAESARIS AVGVSTI, reiterating the authority under which the coinage was issued. A dotted border frames the entire design. The composition is characteristic of Augustan colonial issues from Hispania, celebrating the newly founded city.
