| Obverse description | A standing figure of a herald (praeco) depicted in left profile, holding a caduceus in the right hand and a round shield adorned with a central star in the left hand. The figure is rendered in the classicizing style characteristic of Augustan coinage. The surrounding legend, distributed across the field, reads AVGVST DIVI F LVDOS SAE, referencing the Secular Games celebrated under the divine authority of Augustus. The composition reflects the propagandistic iconography associated with the Ludi Saeculares of 17 BC. |
