| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing left, rendered in finely detailed high relief with characteristic Augustan classicizing portraiture. The emperor's hair is elaborately styled with naturalistic, layered locks swept forward over the forehead in the distinctive Augustan manner. The portrait is truncated at the neck and set within a beaded border. The encircling Latin legend reads CAESAR AVGVSTVS, divided on either side of the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue commemorates Augustus's recovery of the standards lost by Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC and by Antony in subsequent Parthian campaigns — a diplomatic settlement with the Parthian king Phraates IV that Augustus propagandized relentlessly as a military triumph. The temple of Mars Ultor, vowed by Augustus before Philippi in 42 BC, was still under construction when these coins were struck; it would not be dedicated until 2 BC, making this issue part of a years-long numismatic campaign to build anticipation for that dedication.
