| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or octastyle domed circular temple — identified as the Temple of Mars Ultor — depicted in frontal elevation, showing a series of columns supporting a domed roof surmounted by an eagle or finial. Standards (signa) are visible between the columns, referencing the recovery of the legionary standards lost at Carrhae. The legend MART VLTO appears divided across the field, with MART to the left and VLTO to the right of the temple facade. The structure rests on a stepped podium visible at the base. The reverse composition is a powerful piece of Augustan political propaganda commemorating the dedication of the Temple of Mars Ultor and the recovery of Roman military honor. |
