Reverse description Standing figure of Mars facing left, rendered in a highly schematic and debased style typical of barbarous radiates. The god is depicted holding a transverse spear in one hand and a trophy over his shoulder in the other, though both attributes are crudely formed and difficult to distinguish. The figure's proportions are distorted, with elongated limbs and minimal anatomical detail. Any surrounding legend is reduced to meaningless pseudo-lettering or garbled imitation of the prototype's inscription, consistent with the work of a non-literate die-cutter copying an official Tetricus I reverse of the MARS VICTOR or similar type.
