It&#039;s from the Biaggi collection originally but is also the exact coin pictured in &quot;The History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators&quot;, &quot;Gold Coins of the World&quot;, and in Wayne G Sayles book &quot;Ancient Coin Collecting III&quot; on page 43, albeit incorrectly listed as a denarius.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/9361/octaviansmall.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
