| Reverse description | The Ara Romae et Augusti, the monumental altar of the three Gauls at Lugdunum (modern Lyon), depicted in frontal elevation at center, its facade adorned with a corona civica (civic crown) flanked by nude male figures on either side. Atop tall columns flanking the altar stand two winged Victories, each holding a wreath aloft. The composition is symmetrical and architecturally precise, emphasizing the altar's role as the great cult center of the imperial cult in Gaul. The abbreviated legend ROM ET AVG appears in the field. |
