| Reverse description | Radiate head of the deified Augustus facing right, depicted with a crown of rays symbolizing his divine status. The bust is rendered in the idealized manner characteristic of Augustan portraiture, with a serene and authoritative expression. The encircling legend proclaims Augustus as the divine father of the fatherland, a title of the highest honorific distinction. The overall design emphasizes the dynastic legitimacy that Caligula sought to project through association with his deified ancestor. |
