| Reverse description | Winged Victory, helmeted and draped, strides to the right astride a recumbent bull, grasping the animal's horn with her left hand while drawing a knife across its throat in a gesture of ritual sacrifice and conquest. The composition is dynamic and tightly rendered within the coin's field, conveying Roman triumph over the subjugated east. The divided legend ARMENIA in the upper field and CAPTA in the exergue frames the scene, commemorating Augustus's diplomatic and military recovery of Armenia circa 20–19 BC. |
