Anmerkungen
Octavian is named "vindicator of the liberty of the Roman people", a year before he was to surrender his illegal powers and accept the name Augustus from the Senate. The flame emerging from the left end of the torch under Pax's feet on the reverse is particularly clear on this example (often it is omitted altogether), justifying Giard's identification of this object as a torch (Paris 908), not a parazonium as suggested by RPC
