| Beschrijving keerzijde | A triumphal arch surmounted by a quadriga facing front occupies the centre of the field, serving as a monumental commemoration of the recovery of the Parthian standards. Flanking figures stand on either side of the arch: to the right, a figure holds an aquila (legionary eagle standard) and a bow, while to the left a figure holds a military signum. The reverse legend CIVIB ET SIGN MILIT A PART RECVPER arcs around the design, proclaiming the diplomatic and military triumph over Parthia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The CIVIB ET SIGN MILIT A PART RECVPER legend commemorates one of Augustus's most celebrated diplomatic achievements: the recovery of the Roman standards lost by Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC and by Antony in subsequent Parthian campaigns. The return was negotiated in 20 BC without a single battle, yet Augustus orchestrated a propaganda campaign presenting it as a military triumph. Velleius Paterculus, writing shortly after, noted that Romans genuinely received it as such.
The RIC I#135 var. designation signals a die or legend variant not precisely matched to the primary type — worth cross-referencing against the British Museum's Augustus aureus holdings, where several closely related obverse dies have been documented.
