<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1814942, member: 44140&quot;]I was looking for a nice Rome mint Augustus coin without breaking the bank (not easy), and I recently found one. This will most likely be the last coin I purchase in 2013 so I thought it should count. This coin will sit nicely with my meager collection of Roman As(s).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Octavian (27 BC - 14 AD)</p><p>AE As (dated. 11/12 AD )</p><p>31.0 mm x 9.89 g</p><p>Obverse: Bare Head of Octavian Left. Latin Legend- IMP CAESAR DIVI F AVGVSTVS XX</p><p>Reverse: Latin Legend- PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVN POT XXXIIII-Legend around large SC</p><p>Ref: RIC 471, Sear 1689 (dated series)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From what I gather from my Sear book. The coin replaces the moneyer&#039;s titles with the titles of Octavian, setting the trend for later Julio-Claudian aes coinage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All opinions, comments, additions and evaluations are appreciated and encouraged.</p><p>Oh, and I might have over paid for it, but hey, I guess we can&#039;t win them all. right?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]297028[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
