| Beschrijving keerzijde | A domed tetrastyle temple depicted in perspective, its pediment decorated and its columns clearly defined, housing a triumphal currus (chariot) facing right within the central bay; the chariot contains an aquila (legionary eagle standard) and is drawn by four miniature galloping horses shown in dynamic motion. The architectural rendering reflects the propagandistic celebration of Augustus's military and civic achievements. The reverse legend S P Q R appears prominently in the field, invoking the authority of the Senate and Roman People. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |

This issue dates to 18 BC, the year Augustus's powers were renewed and significantly expanded by the Senate — the tribunicia potestas made permanent, the proconsular imperium reinforced. The S P Q R legend was not decorative deference; it was a calculated political signal, projecting the fiction of restored republican authority at precisely the moment Augustus was consolidating something far closer to monarchy. The Senate gave him the title willingly. That tension is baked into every coin of this type.
