History of the Artifact
These bronze coins minted under Augustus (27BC-14AD) are a tangible artifact that links the present to the reign of one of history's most remarkable characters. As Rome transitioned from Republic to Empire, Augustus (Octavian) masterfully used coinage to solidify his image and authority. Bronze denominations like the as, dupondius, and sestertius were minted in large quantities and circulated widely throughout the empire, making them an important tool to establish the authority of Augustus as Emperor.Ā Unlike silver or gold coins, which were often used for larger transactions or military payments, bronze coins were handled regularly by the broader population and served as daily reminders of imperial power.
Augustusās portrait appears on all these coins, typically shown with an idealized, youthful face. The reverse sides of these bronze coins often featured symbols of Roman religion, military success, or civic virtues. Common motifs included altars, temples, laurel wreaths, and personifications such as Pax (Peace), Virtus (Virtue), and Roma (the city of Rome herself). These symbols reinforced Augustusās claim that he had brought order and prosperity to the Roman world after decades of civil war.
