Summary
| Description |
English: Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14. AR Denarius (3.75 g, 4h). Spanish mint - Emerita. Struck 19-18 BC. CAESAR AVGVSTVS, head right, wearing oak wreath / DIVVS • IVLIVS across field, comet with eight rays and tail. RIC I 37a; RSC 98; BMCRE 323-5 = BMCRR Gaul 135-7; BN 1292-7. Near EF, gorgeous deep gray toning, an area of minor porosity on reverse.
Ex Vinchon (22 November 1995), lot 86. This denarius reflects Augustus’ use of his coinage to convey a political message. The obverse shows him wearing the corona civica, an oak wreath awarded to an individual who had personally saved a citizen (in Augustus' case it was the citizen body of the Roman world). The reverse depicts the comet which made a continuous daylight appearance during July 44 BC, and was associated with the deification of Julius Caesar. |
