Commentary


Contremarque (NK) au revers sur le portrait de César répertorié par Howgego (GIC. 625). le delta (an 4) placé sous la tête d’Octave serait une date par rapport à la date de la bataille d’Actium (2 septembre 31 avant J.-C.). Il pourrait s’agir aussi d’une marque de valeur pour un tetrassaria (4) ou un D pour dupondius.
Countermark (NK) on the reverse of the portrait of Caesar recorded by Howgego (GIC. 625). The delta (year 4) placed under the head of Octavius would be a date relative to the date of the battle of Actium (September 2, 31 BC). It could also be a value mark for a tetrassaria (4) or a D for dupondius

Historical background


OCTAVIAN AND JULIUS CAESAR

Eighteen-year-old Octave, born in 63 BC, was in Apollonia at the time of his great-uncle's death. He rushed to Rome to collect the family inheritance because he had been adopted by Caesar. He changed his name to Caius Julius Caesar Octavianus and decided to form during the year 43 the second Triumvirate with Marc Antoine and Lépide. He was not yet twenty. Octave will fight to conquer power for thirteen years before becoming Augustus on January 16, 27 BC. During all these years and even after, he presents himself as the son of Caesar and his successor.
