This bronze medal, created by the Italian artist Varrone Belferdino around the mid-15th century, depicts Marus Croto on horseback. The reverse side of the medal showcases a detailed rendition of Marus, clad in armor, astride a steed. The inscription surrounding the figure reads "VICTOR[IA] AVGVSTE" (Victory of Augustus). The medal's diminutive size, measuring just 6.14 cm in diameter, suggests it was likely intended for personal use or as a commemorative piece.
