| Reverse description | Radiate head of the deified Augustus facing right, draped in a paludamentum visible at the shoulder, presented as a divine effigy in accordance with his posthumous consecration. The radiate crown, composed of evenly spaced pointed rays, emphasizes his status as Divus Augustus. The surrounding legend DIVVS AVG PATER PATRIAE is arranged circularly around the portrait. The reverse honors Augustus as both a divine figure and the founding father of the Roman state, reflecting Caligula's early policy of honoring his dynastic predecessors through coin propaganda. |
