| Reverse description | A lion, shown in vigorous right-facing motion, attacks a stag that rears up defensively beneath it; the predator's forepaws grip the stag's back and neck in a dramatic composition evoking Hellenistic hunting imagery. The stag is depicted with antlers rendered in detail, its body twisted under the lion's weight, both animals shown above a ground line. The scene may allude to Augustan virtus and the dominion of Rome over the natural and political world. The moneyer's legend M DVRMIVS IIIVIR encircles the design, identifying Marcus Durmius in his role as Triumvir Monetalis, one of the three magistrates responsible for coinage. The dotted border of the coin is partially visible around the circumference. |
