In his right hand he holds a vexillum (military standard), while a parazonium (short sword) rests on his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the restrained classicizing style of the Augustan period. The reverse legend VOT P SVSC PRO SAL ET RED I O M SACR encircles the field, recording the public vows offered to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for the safety and return of the emperor. |

This aureus belongs to a group struck in the lead-up to Augustus's ludi saeculares of 17 BC — the centennial games intended to inaugurate a new age of Roman prosperity. The vow inscription references prayers for Augustus's safe return from his extended campaigns in Gaul and Spain between 16 and 13 BC, a journey that generated significant anxiety in Rome and prompted formal senatorial vows on his behalf. That the mint was producing coinage commemorating these vows while Augustus was still abroad reflects the machinery of Augustan self-presentation operating at full capacity without his physical presence.
