Reverse description The god Mars advances vigorously to the right, depicted helmeted and nude save for a military cloak (paludamentum) draped around his waist and billowing behind. In his raised right hand he carries a spear held diagonally, while over his left shoulder he bears a legionary aquila (eagle standard) grasped in his left hand — a composition emphasizing martial power and the legitimacy of Vespasian's military authority. The reverse legend COS ITER TR POT is disposed in the field around the figure, with the exergue plain.
