| Reverse description | Jupiter Tonans (the Thunderer) depicted standing left within a hexastyle temple facade, holding a thunderbolt in his raised right hand and leaning on a long sceptre with his left. The architectural frame of the temple is rendered with columns and a pediment, recalling the Temple of Jupiter Tonans dedicated by Augustus on the Capitoline Hill in 22 BC. The abbreviated reverse legend IOVIS TON appears in the field, identifying the deity. The composition commemorates Augustus's vow to Jupiter following his miraculous escape from a lightning strike during the Cantabrian campaign. |
