| Reverse description | Mars, nude and heroically proportioned, strides vigorously to the right across the open field, bearing an upright spear in his right hand and a trophy — the arms and armour of a vanquished enemy — over his left shoulder. The god's dynamic pose conveys martial triumph and imperial power. The senatorial monogram S C (Senatus Consulto) flanks the figure to the left and right in the mid-field, authorising the bronze issue. The abbreviated legend SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI arcs across the upper and lower field, honouring Trajan as Optimus Princeps, the best of princes. |
