The portrait exhibits the characteristic Roman imperial style of the Flavian period, with finely rendered facial features. The legend reads IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GER COS XVII, referencing his titles and consulship. Two bust varieties are attested for this issue: one facing right and one facing left. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of the deified Augustus, depicted in full-length military or toga dress, being crowned by a Genius or Nike figure. The scene is rendered in the colonial provincial style typical of Philippi, with the two figures occupying the central field. The legend COL AVG IVL PHILIPP DIVVS AVG surrounds the design, referencing the Colonia Augusta Iulia Philippensis and the divine status of Augustus. The composition reflects the colony's strong Augustan heritage and loyalty to the imperial cult. |
