| Reverse description | Schematic frontal depiction of a rectangular Roman city wall or gateway, rendered with two flanking towers and an arched double gate at the base, representing the newly founded colony of Emerita Augusta (modern Mérida, Spain). The inscription EMERITA appears within or above the gateway structure, identifying the colony, while the legate's name and title legend encircles the design in the field to either side. The architectural motif is bold and stylised, consistent with the colonial foundation coinage struck under the authority of the provincial legate Publius Carisius. |
