| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two Armenian royal symbols in the field: on the left, an Armenian tiara rendered in detail, and on the right, a quiver and bow-case, emblems of the subjugated Eastern kingdom. These trophy-like symbols commemorate Augustus's diplomatic and military triumph over Armenia circa 20–19 BC. The legend ARMENIA CAPTA is divided across the field, with ARMENIA arching above and CAPTA appearing in the exergue below, all in bold Latin capitals. The composition is symmetrical and deliberately propagandistic, celebrating Roman dominion over the East. |
