| Reverse description | The god Mars, helmeted and largely nude save for a military cloak (paludamentum) draped around his waist and lower body, stands facing left in a martial pose. In his raised right hand he holds a spear slanting upward, while his left hand supports a trophy resting on his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in a classical style with bold, confident engraving. The abbreviated consular legend appears in the field, with a beaded border encircling the design. |
