The reverse type has been compared to the heifer of Myron, the famous Athenian sculptor of the 5th century BC. C. Mattingly in the British Museum catalog states that "The heifer is indisputably the famous statue of Myron which was placed by Augustus in the 'Porticus Apollinis' and which was transferred by Vespasian to the temple of Peace" (BMC p. xxxviii). Carradice and Buttrey in the revised edition of the Roman Imperial Coinage are more cautious, suggesting that the connection with Myron is hypothetical (RIC p. 30). However, the reverse draws inspiration from the previous series of aurei depicting bulls or heifers issued by Augustus.
