| Description |
English: The cameo depicts Augustus as a triumphant demigod wearing the aegis, decorated with the head of a wind god, perhaps intended as a personification of the summer winds that brought the corn fleet from Egypt to Rome and so an oblique reference to Augustus' annexation of Egypt. |
