Description

Augustus, 27 BC-AD 14. Denarius (Silver, 19 mm, 3.66 g, 6 h), uncertain mint in Spain (Colonia Patricia?), circa 19 BC. CAESAR AVGVSTVS Bare head of Augustus to right. Rev. SIGNIS RECEPTIS / S - P / Q - R Round shield inscribed CL•V•, flanked by aquila on the left and signum on the right. BMC 418. Cohen 265. RIC 86a. Porous and with bankers' marks and a scratch, otherwise, very fine.

The reverse refers to one of Augustus' greatest diplomatic successes, namely the return of the Roman standards in 20 BC, which the Parthians had captured from Crassus, L. Decidius Saxa, and Mark Antony in earlier campaigns.
