Inscription: Recto: lower centre, black ink: "Transadigit Romana sinum Lucretia ferro, // Ulta pudicitiam sanguinis imbre suam. // Tale genus letfii placuit: sic muta videtur // Velle tabella loqui, velle tabella mori. // Lui cruor effluxit de vulnere, nomen in oevum // Pinxit, et Historiae nobile schema dedit. // Augustis laribus spectabilis eminet icon: // AUGUSTI jufsu vulgat in ere typus. // Protrahit in lucem CAROLUS feliciter Artes, // AEternaturas Posteritatis opes. // Haec apposuit // MAGISTRATUS V JENNENSJS // Sub Consulatu // ANDREA LUDOVICI // LEITGEB. // PAULUS VERONENSIS, Pinx: // de Prenner, del: et Incidit. 1733 // Bella foris, Musasque domi tractare laborat. // Luam bene Regnantes utraque cura decet! // Tulminat adversos quam fortis et acer in hostes, // Tam pius et clemens Artibus ille favet. // Hac ope Vindobonam levat alto gloria caelo, // Gloria caesareae plena favore manus. // Religio Delubra, Scholas sapientia, Cives // Pax et amor, Themidem justa statera regit. // Urbs felix, cui tanta fluunt a CAESARE dona, // Apta sago virtus quem beat, apta Jogae."; lower centre edge, graphite: "2".
