Description: This ancient Roman coin depicts Emperor Octavian Augustus and was minted during his reign from 14BC to 10AD. It was minted in the Corduba Mint in ancient Roman province of Colonia Patricia, Baetica. Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, also known as Octavianus or Octavian, was the founder of the Roman Empire; he reigned as the first Roman emperor from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. The reign of Augustus initiated an imperial cult as well as an era associated with imperial peace, the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta, in which the Roman world was largely free of armed conflict aside from expansionary wars and the Year of the Four Emperors. The Principate system of imperial rule established by Augustus lasted until the Crisis of the Third Century. Corduba was an ancient Iberian mint associated with the Roman city of Colonia Patricia, identified with the modern-day city of Córdoba. In the middle or end of the 2nd century BC, it minted a low series of bronze divisional coins. Later, in 46-45 BC, Corduba issued bronze and Pompeian silver coins. After Corduba became Colonia Patricia, it minted only small republican divisional coinage and a single Augustan series of sestertii, dupondii, asses, semisses and quadrantes. The denomination of this coin is 'As', and it belongs to the era of ancient Rome. The coin is a great addition to any coin collection, especially for those interested in Roman imperial history. 2302
