Awesome Augustus coins shown here, love them all Adding this one in Augustus honor, just because it is one of my favorites.

wonderful coins all... @Terence Cheesman ... I really don't know what to say - they are beautiful. I am so glad I started this thread as I have seen coins I have never seen before and in a style that I did not think possible. Please add any others... However I am just a beginner.. so I have not studied the type but I am so happy to see them.. Cheers my friend!

Just thinking,... haven't read anywhere if this is true. If someone has an explanation for the legend ELA - ΣT it would be great I am getting carried away by Augustus, so I think I should better stop. Apologies if I have bored you, his coins are just my favorite one's

Its original name was Corduba. When it was made a Roman colony, it was renamed Colonia Patricia to honor the veterans and worthy men who settled it to whom honor was due as to Fathers (Patribus). Augustus visited Patricia in 15 or 14 B.C. Ob.: PERMISSV CAESARIS AVGVSTI. Bare Augustus head to left. Rev.: COLONIA PATRICIA around legionary eagle (Aquila) between two military standards (Signa).

Issued under the emperor Trajan at the provincial mint of Berytus, Phoenicia ca. 99 - 102 AD. RPC suggests that this issue is from about 100 AD. A colonist, or priest veiled, guiding two oxen, or an ox and a cow, are the common numismatic symbols of an established colony, and a very frequent type on the coins of Berytus 23 mm, 12.78 g Sawaya 584-5 (D101/R246); BMC 62ff; RPC III, 3833 Ob.: DIVOS AVGVSTVS Bare head of Augustus, r.
