<p>[QUOTE=&quot;H8_modern, post: 3202051, member: 28531&quot;]I’d like to get a book on countermarks of this period but I’m afraid it would have very limited information. I recently picked up this piece of Augustus and have found information on a similar piece from CNG. The countermarks are identified as to where it was done but not when, why or who.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img921/7919/A18K5r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img924/6264/w5OPea.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>From CNG archives </p><p><img src="https://imageshack.com/a/img921/4253/qjoM6k.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>[Roman Imperial] AUGUSTUS. 27 BC-14 AD.
