Reverse description Augustus, laureate and togate, standing right, resting his left hand on a large shield inscribed CV (Clipeus Virtutis), while extending his right hand to place a star upon a second figure — likely a deity or personification — who holds a spear and a Victory on a globe. The composition alludes to Augustan dynastic ideology and divine favor. The legend L LENTVLVS FLAMEN MARTIALIS, naming the moneyer Lucius Cornelius Lentulus in his role as Flamen Martialis (high priest of Mars), is distributed around the field.
