Reverse description A legionary aquila (eagle standard) displayed erect between two military signa (legionary standards), each adorned with disc and pendant decorations, all rendered in the schematic style characteristic of Mark Antony's military coinage. The legend SCARPVS IMP is inscribed in the upper field, identifying Scarpus as Imperator and legate of Antony, while LEG VIII in the lower exergual area designates Legio VIII, the eighth legion. The composition is enclosed by a border of dots on an irregularly shaped flan, reflecting the coin's origin in a mobile military mint.
