This one is not your typical Mars coin, but his intent in the scene depicted is pretty clear as he air-walks down towards recumbent vestal virgin, Rhea Silvia. It doesn't feature any of his titles, so presumably we can make up our own names for him here .

 

Wow! I like that one (as well as all the others posted here ). I definitely got to find this one . Do you have a RIC number?
