| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle aedicula (temple or altar structure) depicted in architectural elevation, with two prominent columns supporting a flat entablature and raised on a stepped podium, shown in three-quarter perspective. Within the central field of the structure, a five-line inscription reads IMP / CAES / AVG / LVD / SAEC, referencing the Ludi Saeculares (Secular Games) celebrated by Augustus in 17 BC. Flanking the structure to the left is the numeral XV and to the right SF, denoting the moneyer's role as one of the XVviri sacris faciundis (Board of Fifteen for Sacred Rites). The surrounding circular legend L MESCINIVS RVFVS IIIVIR identifies the moneyer Lucius Mescinius Rufus as tresvir monetalis. A beaded border frames the reverse. |
