| Reverse description | Personification of the province of Mauretania standing left, dressed in short tunic and cloak, holding a javelin in her right hand and a horse's bridle in her left. Behind her, a horse stands pacing to the left, serving as a regional attribute emblematic of the province's renowned horsemanship and cavalry traditions. The allegorical figure may wear an elephant-scalp headdress, a rare iconographic element alluding to the exotic fauna of North Africa. The senatorial authority legend SC (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, flanking the central design, with the provincial name MAVRETANIA inscribed above. |
