<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 8179675, member: 87809&quot;]As far as I know, but I may be wrong, the clipeus virtutis (CL V), Latin for &quot;shield of bravery&quot; was awarded to Augustus by the Senate and people of Rome in 27 BC for his &quot;Bravery, clemency, justice and piety&quot; and displayed in the Curia Iulia. Like the corona civica, the clipeus virtutis was awarded for saving the life of a fellow citizen. A golden clipeus virtutis, shield of virtue, was displayed in the senate house to commemorate Augustus&#039; virtues.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin refers to the Parthian surrender to Augustus of the standards by &quot;SIGNIS RECEPTIS&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
