| Reverse description | Mars Victor depicted in full military panoply, striding dynamically to the left in a vigorous advancing pose. The god wears a crested Corinthian helmet and a short military tunic, his right hand extending forward bearing a small figure of Victory, while his left arm carries a large trophy over the shoulder. The legend MARS VICTOR is distributed across the field to left and right of the figure, with the senatorial authority mark S C placed in the lower field flanking the deity's legs, confirming the bronze coinage issue by decree of the Senate. |
