| Reverse description | A large rectangular altar depicted in three-quarter perspective, its upper surface decorated with a palm branch and scrolled volutes at either end, referencing the Ara Providentiae or a civic altar dedicated to Augustus at Tarraco. The body of the altar features a central ornamental roundel or shield device flanked by pilasters at each corner. The abbreviation C V T T — standing for Colonia Iulia Urbs Triumphalis Tarraco — is distributed in the field around the altar, with letters placed at the four quadrants. The composition is bold and schematic, consistent with Tiberian-era provincial bronze coinage of Hispania Tarraconensis. |
