Commentary
Contremarque au droit. Pour ce type, Michael Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à trente coins de droit et inférieure à trente-trois coins de revers pour quatre variétés. Quant à eux, les auteurs du Catàlogo ont relevé six variétés différentes pour ce denier. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé quatre exemplaires provenant des dépôts d’Avvetrana (2 ex.), de Gallignano (1 ex.) et de Terranova (1 ex.). L’exemplaire de e-MONNAIES 1 s’est vendu 1.400€ avec huit offres sur une estimation en SUP de 600/1.200€.

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..
