Reverse description A hexastyle domed or gabled temple depicted in three-quarter perspective, with six columns supporting a decorated pediment. At the center of the temple interior stands an aquila (legionary eagle standard) facing right, flanked by one military standard on each side, referencing the recovery of the Roman standards lost at the Battle of Carrhae. The composition emphasizes the political and religious significance of Augustus's diplomatic achievement. The reverse legend MART VLTO, an abbreviated form of MARTI VLTORI (To Mars the Avenger), appears in the field.
