| Reverse description | A tetrastyle domed temple shown in elevation, its rounded cupola rising above four columns rendered in perspective. Within the intercolumnar space stands Mars helmeted and in military attire, facing left; in his right hand he holds an aquila (legionary eagle standard), while his left hand supports a vexillum (military standard) resting over his left shoulder. The scene commemorates Augustus's recovery of the Roman standards lost at the Battle of Carrhae. The legend MARTIS VLTORIS appears in the field, identifying the temple as that of Mars Ultor. |
