| Obverse description | The deified Augustus (Divus Augustus) is depicted seated left on a throne or curule chair, rendered in a dignified, classicizing style. He is shown radiate, wearing a toga, and holds a branch (likely laurel or olive) in his outstretched right hand, while his left hand rests on a long sceptre. To his left, a lighted altar or cista is visible in the field. The encircling legend DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER runs around the periphery in raised Latin characters, proclaiming his divine and paternal status. |
