| Reverse description | A nude, helmeted figure of Mars strides dynamically to the right, holding a spear in his right hand and an aquila (legionary eagle standard) in his left hand, symbolizing military unity and divine martial sanction. The figure is rendered in a vigorous, athletic style typical of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian reverse iconography. The legend CONSENSVS EXERCITVVM encircles the design, reading from left to right around the field, within a border of dots. This reverse type was a deliberate propagandistic statement by Vitellius, emphasizing the unanimous support of the Rhine legions that had proclaimed him emperor. |
