<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7809681, member: 86498"]Augustus Ar Denarius Lugdunum 15-13 BC. Obv. head right bare. Rv. Bull butting right. RIC 167a 3.69 grms 19 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1341451[/ATTACH]Very interesting back story. I like the coinage of Augustus. As he is one of a handful of ancient personalities with a number of sources available it is always fun to read the back stories available from his coinage. It is interesting that this coin is coupled with the celebration of his victory at Actium as well as another issue celebrating the successes of Tiberius and Drusus on the frontier. I believe that to fully understand the Roman coinage one has to look at the coins that are issued contemporaneous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
