**Obverse context.** The arrangement refers to the honors voted to Augustus by the Senate, including the *toga picta* and *tunica palmata*, the embroidered triumphal regalia traditionally worn by victorious generals, displayed here together with an eagle on a wreath as emblems of his preeminent standing in the state.
**Reverse context.** The triumphal *quadriga* recalls the chariot decreed to Augustus and set up in his honor, a monument that placed him in the company of Rome's greatest commanders without requiring an actual triumph.
**Obverse legend translation.** S P Q R PARENT(I) CONS(ERVATORI) SVO, "The Senate and People of Rome to their parent and preserver." S P Q R abbreviates *Senatus Populusque Romanus*, while PARENT and CONS are shortened forms of *parenti* and *conservatori*.
**Reverse legend translation.** CAESARI AVGVSTO, "To Caesar Augustus," the dative indicating that the honors named on the obverse are dedicated to him.
