| Opschrift voorzijde | AVGVSTVS DIVI F (Translation: Augustus Divi Filii. Augustus, son of the divine.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two figures face one another across the open field: at left, a standing male figure — identified as a Parthian or barbarian captive — rendered in foreign dress with a rounded cap, extends upward a Roman military standard topped with an olive branch, in a gesture of restitution; at right, a togated or draped male figure, likely a personification of Roma or a Roman commander, is seated on a raised platform or chair of state, extending his right arm forward to receive the standard. The exergual legend IMP·X is inscribed in the lower field in clear Roman capitals, referencing Augustus's tenth imperatorial acclamation. The scene commemorates the recovery of Roman standards from Parthia, a pivotal diplomatic and propagandistic triumph of the Augustan age. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augustus held his tenth imperatorial acclamation — IMP X — following victories attributed to his stepsons Tiberius and Drusus in the Alpine campaigns against the Raeti and Vindelici. The title was honorific rather than earned in the field; Augustus had not fought personally. These aurei were struck at Lugdunum, which became the primary western mint for imperial gold after the closure of the traveling military workshops that had followed Caesar's campaigns.
The Lugdunum mint opened around 15 BC, making this issue among its earliest products.
