| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a triumphal quadriga — a four-horse chariot — viewed from the front or slight three-quarter angle, with the horses rendered in fine hammered relief consistent with late 1st century BC Spanish mint style. Behind the chariot, an ornate triumphal arch or architectural element is visible in the upper field, underscoring the celebratory and monumentalizing intent of the type. The legend CAESARI AVGVSTO appears in the upper right field, identifying the honorand as Caesar Augustus. The overall composition commemorates a specific triumph or honorific grant, likely connected to Augustus's reception of the honorary title Pater Patriae or his Parthian settlement of 20–19 BC. The die work, though somewhat worn on this specimen, reflects the skilled engravers active at the uncertain Spanish mint responsible for this issue. |
