| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its pediment ornamented with the Sidus Iulium (Caesar's Comet), symbolizing the deification of Julius Caesar. Within the intercolumniation stands a veiled cult statue holding a lituus in the right hand. An inscription appears on the architrave, and a lighted altar is depicted to the left of the temple. The composition reflects the dedication of the Temple of Divus Iulius and serves as powerful dynastic propaganda linking Octavian to his deified adoptive father. |
