| Reverse description | A Capricorn leaping to the right, depicted with the forequarters of a goat and the tail of a fish rendered in fine relief, its head turned back with curving horns prominent. The Capricorn, Augustus's birth sign and a powerful dynastic emblem, holds a globe beneath its forefeet, symbolizing world dominion. The two-line legend SIGNIS RECEPTIS is inscribed above and below the central device in bold, well-spaced capital letters, commemorating the recovery of Roman standards lost to the Parthians. The composition is bold and centred on the irregularly shaped hammered flan. |
