| Reverse description | A togate priest, viewed from behind, drives a yoke of two oxen to the right, performing the ritual act of ploughing the sacred furrow (sulcus primigenius) that symbolizes the foundation of the Roman colony of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza). The colonial legend CAESARAVGVSTA C ALSANO T CERVIO II VIR surrounds the scene, naming the two local magistrates (duoviri) C. Alsanus and T. Cervius who were responsible for the issue. The reverse type closely follows the standard colonial foundation iconography employed across Augustan Hispanic colonial mints. |
