| Reverse description | The reverse presents a reclining male figure, likely a personification of a river deity or a captive barbarian, shown in a semi-recumbent pose directed to the left across the field. The figure appears draped and holds attributes consistent with Augustan reverse iconography. The Latin legend AVGVSTVS is inscribed along the lower portion of the field, serving as a direct reference to the emperor's title. A globus or circular object is visible to the lower right of the figure, symbolizing universal dominion. The overall composition reflects the refined propagandistic imagery characteristic of the Lugdunum mint under Augustus. |
