Reverse description Standing figure of Augustus, veiled and togate, depicted at a slight angle to the left, holding a simpulum (sacrificial ladle) in his extended right hand, emblematic of his role as Pontifex Maximus assumed in 12 BC and here anticipated. The moneyer's legend C MARIVS C F TRO IIIVIR is distributed across the field and periphery, identifying Gaius Marius, son of Gaius, of the Tromentina tribe, as one of the tresviri monetales responsible for the issue. The composition emphasises Augustus's sacerdotal authority through his priestly vestments and ritual instrument.
