| Reverse description | Mars, the god of war, depicted standing facing front in a dynamic contrapposto pose, nude or semi-nude with military accoutrements, holding an upright spear in his right hand and a trophy — composed of captured arms and armor — over his left shoulder. The figure occupies the full height of the field, conveying martial authority and divine protection. The reverse legend MARS CONSERV, an abbreviation of Mars Conservatori (Mars the Protector), is distributed around the periphery, with MARS on the left and CONSERV on the right. A dotted border frames the inner field on the left side, consistent with die production practices of the early Flavian period. |
