| Reverse description | Augustus seated left on a raised tribunal platform, extending his right hand to offer an olive branch to a soldier standing before him at left. The soldier carries a parazonium (a short military sword) in his left hand and receives the olive branch, symbolising the restored peace under Augustus. The composition is strongly political in character, referencing Augustus's role as supreme military commander and bearer of peace. The reverse legend IMP X appears in the field, commemorating Augustus's tenth imperatorial acclamation. |
