| Reverse description | Victory personified in flight, moving to the left with wings spread and dividing the reverse legend, her right hand extending a wreath downward toward an inscribed clipeus virtutis (votive shield) suspended from a column. The shield bears the abbreviated dedicatory inscription S·P·Q·R· CL·V, referencing the golden shield of virtue awarded to Augustus by the Senate and Roman people in 27 BC. The composition is dynamic, with Victory's drapery flowing behind her figure, and the columnar support rendered in careful detail below the shield. The entire design commemorates the honors bestowed upon Augustus following his Parthian settlement and the recovery of the Roman standards. |
