| Reverse description | A historical scene depicting the surrender of Jugurtha to Lucius Cornelius Sulla: Sulla is enthroned left on a raised curule chair (sella curulis), while Bocchus, king of Mauretania, kneels at left presenting an olive branch toward Sulla in a gesture of submission, and Jugurtha, king of Numidia, kneels at right with his hands bound behind his back. The epithet FELIX appears in the right field, alluding to the cognomen assumed by the dictator Sulla. This celebrated scene commemorates one of the defining episodes of Sulla's early career and the conclusion of the Jugurthine War. The composition is bordered by a ring of dots. |
