Mint Rome (ancient), Italy Julius Caesar introduced the Aureus, a gold coin, which became the backbone of Roman coinage for centuries. Weighing around 8 grams of nearly pure gold, this coin exhibited superior craftsmanship that conveyed Caesar's power and authority. This gold coin reveals the veiled head of Julius Caesar on the front side with emblem "CAESAR COS TER". Standardization and Control: Caesar's rigorous reforms extended to the production of silver and bronze coins. He improved the quality and consistency of these denominations, established precise weight standards, and centralized the minting process. By gaining control over currency production, he curbed counterfeiting and ensured Roman citizens that their money possessed value. Guaranteed Genuine by NGC Capstonecoins.com Austin TX
