| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting to the right occupies the central field, rendered with vigorous naturalistic detail; the animal's head is lowered aggressively and a laurel branch or wreath ornament appears at its neck. Beneath the bull, a horizontal ground line is flanked by laurel sprigs extending to the left and right. The legend IMP XII is inscribed in large, clear capital letters in the lower field below the ground line. The reverse is framed by a prominent beaded border, and the overall composition conveys the martial strength and sacrificial symbolism associated with Augustan imperial iconography. |
