| Aanvullende informatie |
This denarius commemorates one of Augustus's most celebrated diplomatic coups: the recovery of the Roman standards lost by Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC and by Antony in 36 BC, achieved without a single Roman soldier dying — through negotiation with the Parthian king Phraates IV in 19 BC. The propaganda value was enormous, and Augustus milked it relentlessly across multiple coin types, framing a bloodless treaty as a military triumph.
RIC I 134B is one of several closely related issues from the eastern mint, likely Pergamum, struck in the immediate aftermath of the recovery.
