Reverse description Mars, the god of war, depicted striding vigorously to the right in near-nudity, wearing a helmet and a military cloak (paludamentum) billowing behind him. He carries a spear in his right hand and a trophy over his left shoulder, symbolising Roman martial victory and the legitimacy of Vespasian's military rule. The figure is rendered in a dynamic, classical style with careful attention to musculature. The encircling legend TRI POT II COS III P P is distributed across the field, reading from the left to the right. The plain exergue is devoid of any mintmark, consistent with Rome mint output of this period.
