[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3191945, member: 87404"]I hadn't either. I'd say based on the size and position of the visible (A)VG behind the head, that it's Augustus. [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER], I'm wondering if your's might actually be Tiberius... I feel I see faint straight letters before the AVG which might be TI? And based on the high location of the AVG that there is room for a couple other letters, and the almost horizontal back/neck hair. Here's an obverse exploration that I did comparing the style of Augustus and Tiberius in this type.
