Obverse description Bare head of Mars facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a prominent plume and cheek guards, rendered in fine relief characteristic of late Republican and early Augustan coinage. The portrait is executed with strong, confident die-cutting, displaying a youthful, idealized profile with clearly delineated facial features. The abbreviated legend IMP (Imperator) appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The helmet crest curves gracefully over the crown, with decorative scrollwork visible on the bowl. The overall style reflects the transitional aesthetic between the late Roman Republic and the emerging Augustan imperial idiom.
