| Reverse description | The god Mars Ultor (Mars the Avenger) depicted striding vigorously to the right in a martial pose, shown nearly nude with military attributes. He advances holding a spear diagonally in his right hand and carries a trophy over his left shoulder, his helmeted head turned slightly forward. The figure is rendered in high relief with dynamic energy, reflecting the ideological program of Vespasian's new Flavian dynasty invoking divine martial vengeance. The divided legend MARS VLTOR is placed to the left and right of the central figure within a dotted border. The field is otherwise plain, with the beaded inner border clearly visible on this example. |
