Reverse description Victory standing facing with large spread wings, head turned to the left, holding an inscribed clipeus virtutis (votive shield) with both hands, the shield's legend dividing the field. The figure of Victory is rendered in a frontal, symmetrical composition of considerable artistic refinement, conveying the triumphal ideology of Augustus. The surrounding legend S·P·Q·R CL·V frames the scene, referencing the golden shield of virtue awarded to Augustus by the Senate and People of Rome in 27 BC.
