Reverse description The reverse displays a collection of emblems arranged symmetrically within the field: a jug (capis) in the upper left, a lituus (augural staff) in the upper right, a tripod with legs below at left, and an oval shield (clipeus) at right, all symbols associated with Roman religious and priestly offices. The legend COS IMP CAESAR AVGV XI is distributed across the field in bold Latin capitals, referencing Augustus's eleventh consular acclamation. The design is characteristic of the Augustan coinage program, which incorporated symbols of Roman state religion and imperial authority. The composition is well-balanced across the flan, with the implements occupying the lower portion and the legend the upper and central registers.
