| Reverse description | Mars, the god of war, depicted striding vigorously to the right in a dynamic martial pose, clad in military attire with helmet. He carries a spear in his right hand and bears a trophy — consisting of captured arms and armor — over his left shoulder, symbolising Roman military victory. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the lower field, flanking the figure on either side. The composition evokes themes of Flavian military triumph and imperial legitimacy, particularly relevant in the context of the Jewish War concluded by Vespasian and Titus. The field is otherwise plain, with no exergual line. |
