Commentary


Plusieurs contremarques sur la joue dont un “SC” (Avec l’accord du Sénat) historiquement intéressant puisque Octave, devenant Auguste, récupèrera à sa charge les frappes de monnaies en argent et en or, ne laissant que les bronzes à la charge du Sénat. On peut facilement imaginer un opposant au régime impérial, montrant clairement son désaccord avec Auguste et sa politique et souhaitant un retour à la République.

One can easily imagine an opponent of the imperial regime, clearly showing his disagreement with Augustus and his policy and wishing for a return to the Republic

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..
