| Reverse description | The reverse displays a tripod-lebes (sacrificial tripod cauldron) in high relief at the center, its bowl rendered with careful detail and supported by three legs terminating in animal-paw feet, with a lyre or decorative element visible between the legs. The legend COS·ITER·ET·TER·DESIG arcs around the upper field, referencing Octavian's designation as consul for the second time and consul-designate for the third time. A dotted border runs along the coin's periphery. The tripod is a potent religious symbol associated with Apollo, a deity with whom Octavian closely identified himself during this period. |
