| Reverse description | Two Capricorns, the zodiacal emblem associated with Augustus, positioned back to back and facing left and right respectively, their bodies supporting a large circular shield inscribed with the letters S C (Senatus Consulto), signifying senatorial authority. A globe appears in the exergue below, symbolizing Roman universal dominion. The composition is carefully balanced within the field, with no surrounding legend, the entire design evoking Augustan dynastic imagery deliberately invoked to legitimize Flavian rule. |
