Reverse description Mars depicted standing facing left, rendered as a semi-nude, helmeted military figure in a vigorous contrapposto stance. In his right hand he holds a spear or standard inclined to the left, while his left arm grasps a round shield adorned with an eagle or trophy device resting at his side. The god stands on a ground line, conveying the martial power invoked for the emperor's safe return. The encircling legend VOT P SVSC PRO SALVT ET RED I O M SACR is distributed around the periphery of the field in Latin capitals, commemorating the public vows undertaken for the well-being and return of Augustus.
