Ancient Rome 43BC-14AD Struck in the Summer 37AD, Octavian Silver Denarius Very Good (VG-8)
This coin was struck following the Pact of Tarentum in the spring of 37 BC, where Octavian and Mark Antony renewed the Second Triumvirate for another five years, excluding Lepidus. The imagery and inscriptions emphasize Octavian's authority and religious legitimacy during this politically tumultuous period.
Obverse: A bareheaded, slightly bearded portrait of Octavian, facing right. The beard signifies mourning, likely for Julius Caesar, his adoptive father.
Reverse: Symbols of religious offices: a impulum (ladle), aspergillum (sprinkler), jug, and lituus (augur's staff), representing Octavian's roles in various preistly colleges.
Specifications:
Composition: Silver
Weight: Approx. 3.71 g
Diameter: Approx. 18.5 mm
