| Reverse description | A rectangular altar, depicted in three-quarter perspective with a detailed architectural frame comprising multiple moulded borders, occupies the central field. The dedicatory inscription FORT RED CAES AVG S P Q R is inscribed across the face of the altar in three lines, commemorating the safe return of Augustus from the Eastern provinces. The altar is rendered with careful attention to architectural detail, including a stepped base and decorated cornice. This type celebrates the erection of the Ara Fortunae Reducis decreed by the Senate and Roman People upon Augustus's return in 19 BC. |
