The architectural rendering includes columns, a stepped podium, and detailed pediment, conveying the grandeur of the newly vowed sanctuary. The encircling legend MARTIS VLTORIS appears in the field around the temple structure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The MARTIS VLTORIS denarii of 19 BC were struck to commemorate the diplomatic recovery of the legionary standards lost by Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC — a humiliation Rome had nursed for over three decades. Augustus secured their return from Parthia through negotiation, not war, but his propaganda machine reframed the episode as a military triumph. The Temple of Mars Ultor, vowed specifically to house these recovered standards, would not be completed until 2 BC.
RIC I#72 is among the issues attributed to a travelling mint accompanying Augustus during his eastern tour.
