| Reverse description | Sol, the sun god, drives a quadriga galloping vigorously to the right, holding the reins in his left hand and a whip in his raised right hand, conveying a sense of dynamic movement characteristic of late Roman Republican die-cutting. The four horses are depicted in full stride with fine detail in the manes and musculature. In the lower field beneath the horses, the moneyer's name is partially rendered with AB and VR in ligature, forming part of the name ABVRI. The legend M•ABVRI, identifying the moneyer Marcus Aburius Geminus, appears in the field, while ROMA is inscribed in the exergue, affirming the Roman mint attribution. |
