Aurora, radiate, flying right holding veil; capricorn right, with oar, above
Historical Note
Aurora (goddess of the dawn) flying above a Capricorn is an unusual and personal composition. Aurora's radiate crown connects her to the sun and to Apollo. The Capricorn is Augustus's birth sign. The pairing may express the idea of a new dawn inaugurated under Augustus's Capricorn-guided destiny — a new age beginning.
