Quo pro merito me senatus consulto Augustus appellatus sum, et laureis postes aedium mearum vestiti publice, coronaque civica super ianuam meam fixa est, et clupeus aureus in curia Iulia positus, quem mihi senatus populusque Romanus dare virtutis clementiaeque et iustitiae et pietatis causa, ut testatum est per eius clupei inscriptionem.
For this service of me, I was called Augustus by a decree of the senate and the door posts of my house were publicly adorned with laurel wreaths and a civic crown was fixed above my door and a gold shield was placed in the Curia Julia, which the senate and people of Rome gave to me because of virtue, mercy, justice, and piety, that/it was proven through the inscription of his shield.
