| Reverse description | Mars Ultor depicted standing facing, nearly nude, helmeted, with his body turned slightly to the left. He holds a vexillum (military standard) upright in his right hand and a round shield or patera in his left, conveying the martial and triumphal theme of the issue. The reverse legend VOT P SVSC PRO SAL ET RED I O M SACR is distributed across the field in multiple lines flanking the central figure, referencing the public vows made to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for the safety and return of the emperor. The composition reflects the bold, abbreviated epigraphic style typical of Augustan silver coinage of this period. |
