背面描述	A bull standing right, rendered in a sturdy, compact style characteristic of Hispanian provincial bronzes, occupying the central field. Above the bull, the legend PR II VIR is inscribed, referring to the two duoviri who served as local magistrates. Below the bull, the names of the magistrates C MAR and M VAL are inscribed on either side of a central stop, identifying the issuing officials. The composition is well-centered and the bull's musculature is rendered with some detail despite the provincial execution.

附加信息	Calagurris — modern Calahorra in La Rioja — was one of a small number of Hispanian municipia granted the right to strike bronze under Augustus, a privilege tied directly to the town's loyalty during the Sertorian Wars of the 70s BC, when it held out for Sertorius against Pompey with notorious tenacity. The city eventually surrendered only after documented instances of cannibalism among the starving population. Augustus rewarded communities that demonstrated fierce, if misplaced, loyalty by folding them into the new imperial order. The duoviri named on this issue — C. Mar. and M. Val. — are otherwise unattested outside the coin series itself.
