Reverse description Mars, the god of war, depicted striding left in military attire and helmet, holding a transverse spear in his right hand and a trophy over his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the energetic, somewhat schematic style of late Roman imperial coinage. The reverse legend MARS VICTOR (or the blundered variant MARS NICTOR) flanks the deity in the field, while the mint-control mark VIXXIT appears in the exergue below a ground line. The composition is framed by a beaded border.
