| Reverse description | Octavian, as triumphator, stands erect in a quadriga advancing to the right, the four horses depicted in vigorous motion. He holds a laurel branch in his right hand, symbolising his victory and claim to divine favour, and the reins in his left hand, asserting control and authority. The scene alludes to the triumphal processions held in Rome following his military successes, including the Actian victory. The legend CAESAR DIVI F — abbreviating Caesari Divi Filius, meaning 'Caesar, Son of the Divine' — appears in the field or along the periphery, asserting his extraordinary dynastic and religious legitimacy. |
