| Reverse description | Central field depicts a sacrificial scene with two sacerdotal implements: a simpulum (ladle) to the left and a praefericulum (ritual jug) flanking a decorated column or altar surmounted by a palm branch, with a patera visible to the right. The composition is enclosed within a laurel wreath border. The surrounding legend names the local duoviri quinquennales responsible for the issue: C VAR RVF SEX IVL POL II VIR Q, arranged around the periphery in Latin capitals. This reverse type is characteristic of Augustan colonial coinage from Carthago Nova, emphasizing the religious and civic authority of the local magistrates. |
