| Reverse description | A togatus priest, advancing to the right, guides a yoke of two oxen pulling a plough, representing the ritual ceremony of the founding of a Roman colonia by cutting the sacred sulcus primigenius. The large colonial monogram C C A (Colonia Caesar Augusta) is prominently displayed in the upper field, serving as the city abbreviation. The peripheral legend SCIPIONE ET MONTANO names the two duoviri quinquennales responsible for the issue, with II VIR appearing in the exergue below. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the composition reflects the standard colonial foundation imagery characteristic of Caesaraugusta's Julio-Claudian coinage. |
