    In this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/upgraded-augustus-sestertius.269803/
    @IdesOfMarch01 says and I quote:

    Bronzes of Augustus can be hard to find. When Augustus finally consolidated his rule, according to RIC:
    "... coinage had consisted, in its final stages, of a flood of silver denarii with intermittent aurei, supported by a token coinage of bronze which had become irregular in both weight and output; this aes, in fact, had not been produced at Rome since c.80 BC, succeeding decades having had to rely partly upon the remains of earlier aes issues."

    Does anyone know where I can find this in RIC (or anywhere else?):confused:
