| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold three-line inscription arranged in the field without any central device or wreath, reading CARISIVS / LEG / AVGVST, referring to Publius Carisius, legate of Augustus and governor of Lusitania, under whose authority this coinage was struck. The large, well-spaced capital letters fill the flan and are executed in a clear, monumental epigraphic style. This type of reverse, with a purely epigraphic composition, is characteristic of the colonial and legionary issues produced at Emerita Augusta under Augustan supervision. The plain field emphasizes the administrative and propagandistic character of the inscription. A small decorative stop or interpunct is visible flanking the opening of the legend. |
