| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mars, the god of war, depicted standing left in a heroic nude pose, wearing a crested helmet and a chlamys draped over his left shoulder and arm. In his right hand he holds a vexillum (military standard), while his left hand rests a parazonium (short sword) upon his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the classicizing Hellenistic style characteristic of Augustan state coinage, conveying martial authority and divine protection of the emperor. The encircling legend VOT P SVSC PRO SAL ET RED I O M SACR refers to the public vows offered to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for the safety and return of Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This aureus belongs to a tightly dated group struck in connection with Augustus's return from the eastern provinces in 19 BC and the vow-fulfillment ceremonies that followed. The obverse legend references vows made for his safety and return — *pro salute et reditu* — discharged publicly to Jupiter Optimus Maximus. The issue coincides with a period of intense religious and political restructuring, when Augustus was methodically reviving lapsed priesthoods and public cult observances as instruments of ideological consolidation.
RIC I 149B is among the rarer variants in this vow series, distinguished by its specific reverse type pairing within a broader emission of closely related dies.
