| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered with fine naturalistic detail characteristic of Augustan court portraiture; the hair is elaborately styled with layered, wavy locks swept forward over the brow. The legend CAESAR AVGVSTVS runs around the periphery, divided to left and right of the effigy, with a dotted border visible along the rim. The portrait displays the idealized yet individualized treatment typical of the early Imperial mint tradition, with a well-defined jaw, prominent nose, and sensitively modeled neck. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue belongs to a group struck in the immediate aftermath of Augustus's diplomatic recovery of the legionary standards lost by Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC — a humiliation Rome had nursed for over three decades. The return was achieved through negotiation with the Parthian king Phraates IV, not force, but Augustus engineered the presentation as a military triumph. The Senate authorized a triumphal arch on the Capitol and voted exceptional honors.
The S P Q R CL V inscription — Senatus Populusque Romanus Clupeus Virtutis — references the golden shield awarded to Augustus in 27 BC, citing his virtus, clementia, iustitia, and pietas.
