Reverse description The god Mars, depicted as a nude or semi-nude warrior figure wearing a crested helmet, strides dynamically to the right in a martial pose. He carries a long spear diagonally across his body in his left hand and bears a military trophy over his right shoulder, symbolizing Roman victory and martial supremacy. The field is relatively plain, with the large senatorial control mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure to the left and right respectively, rendered in bold, widely-spaced characters characteristic of Flavian-era aes coinage.
