| Reverse description | Mars, helmeted and cloaked, stands facing left in a composed, upright pose. In his right hand he holds a vexillum (military standard), while a parazonium (short sword) rests on his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the restrained, classicising style of Augustan coinage, conveying martial authority and divine sanction for the emperor's military campaigns. The reverse legend VOT P SVSC PRO SAL ET RED I O M SACR is disposed in the field around the figure, referencing the public vows made to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for Augustus's safety and return. |
