ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14. AR Cistophorus (25mm, 11.58 g, 1h). Pergamum mint(?). Bare head right / MART VLTO, temple of Mars Ultor: circular, domed, tetrastyle temple set on five-tiered base; a signum within.

This issue was struck to commemorate the recovery by Augustus of the standards lost by Crassus to the Parthians. The standard seen here is housed in a small temple that was located on the Capitoline, and which served as a temporary home for the standards until the completion of the temple to Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus.
