| Reverse description | A rectangular altar or ara, rendered in three-quarter architectural perspective with a stepped base and plain entablature, occupies the centre of the reverse field. The votive legend FORT RED CAES AVG S P Q R is inscribed across three lines within the body of the altar, honouring Fortuna Redux and celebrating Augustus's safe return to Rome. The altar type alludes to the Ara Fortunae Reducis decreed by the Senate in 19 BC to commemorate the emperor's return from the East. The composition is bold and emblematic, with no surrounding border legend, the inscription itself serving as the primary decorative and commemorative element. |
