This is a photograph of an ancient coin or medallion. The object features a relief image of two figures in motion, with the inscription "VENER•et•MARS•VGO" around the edge. The figures appear to be intertwined, one carrying a palm frond, while the other wears a helmet and holds a weapon. The coin has a circular shape with a hole at the top, likely for wearing or attaching. The metal has an aged patina that highlights the craftsmanship.
