| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, with four prominent columns supporting a triangular pediment surmounted by acroteria. The architectural rendering is detailed, showing the intercolumnar spaces and steps at the base, reflecting the Roman imperial cult temples erected in the province of Lusitania. The surrounding Latin legend dedicates the monument to the eternal glory of the Augustan colony. The overall composition is typical of Roman provincial coinage honoring the imperial cult. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Emerita Augusta — modern Mérida in Spain — was founded around 25 BC to settle veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, and its colonial mint was among the most prolific in the western provinces under Augustus and Tiberius. The colony held the rank of colonia Augusta Emerita and governed the entirety of Lusitania, giving its civic coinage an outsized administrative importance relative to most provincial issues.
The AETERNITATI AVGVSTAE reverse type is a direct theological response to Augustus's death in AD 14 — an assertion of dynastic continuity issued under Tiberius to anchor the new reign in the deified predecessor's permanence. Emerita was one of very few western colonial mints to produce coinage explicitly framing this transition.
