| Reverse description | In the central field, a jug (urceus) and a lituus (augural crook) are depicted side by side, both priestly emblems alluding to the religious office held by Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, who served as an augur. The legend LENTVLVS SPINT is inscribed in two lines in the lower field, identifying the moneyer responsible for the issue. The devices are rendered with characteristic late Republican directness, with clear, deeply struck relief. The design is enclosed within a border of dots. |
