| Reverse description | Mars, god of war, depicted standing left, helmeted and cloaked in military paludamentum. In his right hand he grasps a vexillum (military standard), while his left hand rests a parazonium (short sword) upon his left shoulder. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the public vows made for the safety and return of the emperor. The figure of Mars conveys martial authority and divine protection over the princeps, consistent with Augustan religious and propagandistic imagery of this period. |
