| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a circular shield (clipeus), rendered in relief as a concave disc enclosed within a raised circular border, itself surrounded by a beaded outer border. Within the shield, the votive inscription S·P·Q·R / CL·V is presented in two lines in a bold, well-spaced epigraphic style. The design commemorates the golden shield — the Clipeus Virtutis — awarded to Augustus by the Senate in 27 BC in recognition of his virtues. The stark, centralised composition emphasises the honorific and political significance of the type. |
