| Reverse description | A rectangular altar or cartouche, rendered architecturally with pilasters on either side and a decorative cornice at the top surmounted by two small volutes or scroll ornaments. Within the altar panel, the dedicatory inscription is arranged in three lines. The design commemorates Augustus's safe return from the East and the vow of the Senate and Roman people, the altar itself referencing the Ara Fortunae Reducis dedicated in his honor. |
