| Reverse description | Central design features a military standard or signum flanked by two legionary aquilae (eagle standards), referencing Legions V Alaudae and X Gemina, the founding legions of Emerita Augusta. The standards are rendered in a schematic provincial style, with the field showing remnants of the surrounding colonial legend. The inscription C A E LE V X, distributed around the central devices, identifies the colony and its founding legions. The reverse composition is characteristic of early Augustan colonial issues from Hispania, emphasizing the military origins of the settlement. |
