| Reverse description | A Parthian figure kneels to the right in a posture of submission, rendered in the round on a ground line, presenting a Roman legionary standard (signum) in his outstretched hands and accompanied by a vexillum. Above and around the figure runs the divided legend CAESAR AVGVSTVS SIGN RECE, commemorating Augustus's celebrated diplomatic recovery of the Roman standards lost at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC. The composition is bold and emblematic, conveying a powerful political message of Roman prestige restored without military conquest. The reverse field is plain, concentrating visual emphasis on the kneeling figure and the symbolic standards. |
