| Reverse description | Mars, the god of war, depicted standing left in a frontal military pose, wearing a crested helmet and a military cloak (paludamentum). He holds a vexillum (military standard) in his right hand and a parazonium (short sword) resting on his left shoulder, emblematic of Roman martial virtue and imperial legitimacy. The reverse legend VOT P SVSC PRO SALVT ET RED I O M SACR encircles the figure, referencing the public vows made to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for the safety and return of the emperor. The composition reflects the ideological program of the Augustan regime, linking the princeps with divine protection and military prowess. |
