Commentary
Avec un buste très particulier où Octave est assimilé à Terminus, forme particulière de Jupiter, ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la deuxième fois que nous proposons ce denier à la vente.
With a very particular bust where Octavius is assimilated to Terminus, a particular form of Jupiter, this type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the second time that we have offered this denier for sale.

Historical background
OCTAVIAN
(63 BC - 27 BC)
Octavian, born September 23, 63 BC in Thurium, was adopted by his great-uncle, Julius Caesar, in 45 BC. After Caesar's death, he formed the second triumvirate with Marc Antony and Lepidus and was one of the architects of the proscriptions which cost Cicero his life in 43 BC. In 42 BC, Brutus and Cassius were defeated at Philippi, where they committed suicide. After the naval battle of Actium (31 BC) and the conquest of Egypt the following year, Octavian celebrated a triple triumph in Rome (August 13-15, 29 BC). That year the temple of Julius Caesar was dedicated..
