| Reverse description | A triumphal arch of three bays depicted in schematic architectural relief, surmounted by a quadriga advancing left, with a standing figure in the chariot holding the reins. Flanking the quadriga atop the arch are two standing figures, each raising an arm and holding an object, likely recovered military standards, alluding to the Parthian settlement of 20 BC. The full circular Latin legend is distributed around the field, commemorating the restoration of Roman citizens and military standards from Parthia. The composition is bold and emblematic, typical of the politically charged celebratory coinage of the Augustan reform period. |
