| Reverse description | The Ara Romae et Augusti, the altar of Rome and Augustus erected at Lugdunum (modern Lyon), depicted in frontal elevation between two tall columns each surmounted by a Victory standing and holding a laurel wreath. The face of the altar is ornamented with a corona civica (oak wreath) flanked on each side by a nude male figure in low relief. The altar is rendered with architectural precision, conveying the monumental nature of the cult site dedicated to Rome and the emperor. The legend ROM ET AVG appears in the field, referencing the dual dedication of the sanctuary. |
