| Reverse description | A bull standing right in the central field, rendered in a sturdy, compact style typical of Hispanic provincial coinage. The legend distributed around the periphery names the local magistrates responsible for the coin's issue, with the duoviri formula II VIR flanking the bull to the right and MN FESTO appearing in the lower exergual area. The inscription C V I CEL in the left field identifies the issuing colony as Colonia Victrix Iulia Celsa. The type reflects the colonial pride of Celsa, a veteran Roman settlement on the Ebro River in Hispania Tarraconensis. |
