| Reverse description | A hexastyle domed temple depicted in three-quarter perspective view, raised on a stepped podium of three tiers, with ornate columns decorated with garlands and roundels. Within the intercolumniation, a legionary aquila (eagle standard) stands centrally between two military signa (standards), symbolizing the recovery of the Roman standards lost at the Battle of Carrhae. The abbreviated legend MAR to the left and VLT to the right flanks the temple façade, referencing the Temple of Mars Ultor vowed by Augustus. |
