The reverse of this coin highlights Augustus' religious roles in Roman society as Pontifex, Augur, Quindecimvir sacris faciundis and member of the Septemviri Epulones. As such, he was a member of the four most senior collegia. The priests chosen to be inducted into these collegia consisted for the most part of leading members of the ruling elite, including at any point ex-consuls, who were, like senators, appointed for life.
