| Reverse description | A scene of augural investiture depicted in high relief: Faustus Cornelius Sulla, as augur, stands centrally on a raised platform (suggestus) facing left, flanked by two kneeling figures presenting him with the priestly emblems of the augurate — the lituus and other sacerdotal objects. To the right, a figure on horseback is visible, likely representing a royal or distinguished supplicant. In the lower exergue, the FAUSTUS monogram is inscribed, identifying the moneyer. The composition commemorates Sulla's role in restoring priestly honors, with the entire scene enclosed within a beaded border. |
