This is a photograph of an ancient coin. The coin features an engraving of a full-length figure standing next to an altar with flames coming out of it, holding a cornucopia and a circular object in his extended hand. The figure is scantily dressed, with a cloth draped around the waist. The coin is inscribed with the words around the outer edge which appear in Latin. The surface displays signs of aging, with slight patina and a visible crack on the left side.
