Commentary


Poids léger. L’attribution de ce quinaire est controversée. C. H. V. Sutherland (RIC. 276) le donne à l’atelier de Rome ou de Brindisium frappé entre 29 et 27 avant J.-C. alors que J.-B. Giard le donne à l’atelier d’Éphèse (BN/R., p. 44, pl. XXXV, n° 899) en août 29 avant J.-C. Le style fait néanmoins penser à un atelier oriental.

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..
