     Octavian. 29-27 BC. AR Denarius (397gm). Rome mint. Victory
     standing right on prow, holding wreath and palm / IMP. CAESAR in
     exergue, Octavian standing right, holding branch, in ornamented
     quadriga right. RIC I 264; BMCRE 617; BN 98; RSC 115. Nice VF,
     banker's mark in obverse field. 715655.

     Octavian's IMP CAESAR coinage was a celebration of the final
     triumph of the Caesarian cause in the civil wars. It addressed
     the many themes of the ‘new order’ and was most appropriate to
     the period preceding the young Caesar's magnificent triple
     triumph in mid-August 29 BC. Its large volume was made possible
     by the wealth of the Ptolemaic treasury, now safely in Roman
     hands, and was necessary for the recompense of soldiers newly
     retired from the disbanded legions and the financing of the
     lavish festivities in the capital. It seems probable that this
     was the first type to be issued in the IMP CAESAR series as it
     supersedes an otherwise identical denarius with the earlier
     CAESAR DIVI F legend (RIC 263). It seems likely that the reverse
     type commemorates Octavian's victorious entry into Alexandria on
     August 1, while the obverse looks back to Actium.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,

                subject to our qualification of the bidder.
