| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Victoria depicted in dynamic flight to the right, her wings spread wide, draped robes billowing behind her, and her body inclined forward in vigorous motion. She carries before her a large round clipeus (votive shield) inscribed CL V (Clipeus Votivus) within a raised circular border, a reference to the golden shield of virtue awarded to Augustus by the Senate in 27 BC. To the left of the figure, the legend S·P·Q·R is inscribed in the field, representing the authority of the Senate and People of Rome. A beaded border runs along the inner rim, and the specimen bears a piercing at the lower left, mirroring that on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue belongs to a group struck at a mobile military mint traveling with Augustus — most likely in Spain or Gaul — rather than at Rome itself. The "S P Q R / CL V" reverse legend references the clipeus virtutis, the golden shield voted to Augustus by the Senate in 27 BC in recognition of his virtus, clementia, iustitia, and pietas. It was a carefully engineered piece of political theater: Augustus refused the title of dictator, so the Senate invented new honors instead.
RIC I 47B is distinguished from the closely related 47A by its reverse type. Both are products of the same mobile mint phase, roughly contemporary with Augustus's diplomatic recovery of the Parthian standards lost at Carrhae in 53 BC — an event that generated an extraordinary volume of coinage.
