| Reverse description | Mars, the god of war, depicted helmeted and cloaked, standing facing with head turned to the right. In his extended right hand he holds an aquila (legionary eagle standard), while a military standard rests upon his left shoulder. The figure conveys martial authority and directly references the recovery of Roman standards lost at the Battle of Carrhae. The legend SIGNIS RECEPTIS encircles the field, commemorating this significant diplomatic and symbolic achievement of Augustus. |
