| Reverse description | Apollo Citharoedus standing left, his figure rendered in flowing classical drapery. He holds a plectrum in his extended right hand and cradles a kithara (lyre) in his left arm, evoking the god in his role as patron of the arts and divine protector of Augustus. The type alludes to the Temple of Apollo Palatinus, vowed after the Battle of Actium, reinforcing Augustan religious and propagandistic ideology. The abbreviated legend appears in the field around the figure, within a dotted border. |
