| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a group of pontifical and sacrificial implements arranged vertically: a knife (secespita) and simpulum (ladle) flanking a sacrificial axe (securis), with a star above the ensemble. The composition alludes to the priestly office of the magistrate Balbus. The legend PONT BALBVS is inscribed in Latin capital letters around the periphery within a dotted border, identifying the duovir pontifex L. Cornelius Balbus Minor as the issuing authority. |
