Augustus as Octavian, AE26 of an uncertain mint in 
Cilicia or Syria. 

Bare head to right. 
Spear, sella quaestoria (seat) and fiscus; Q below. 

RPC I 5409; ; AMNG II 29 (Pella) note; FITA 13-19 
(Thessalonica?). 

An enigmatic issue, variously attributed to Brutus, Octavian 
or the governor of Syria, Gaius Sosius and to Macedonia. 
The Q beneath the image on the reverse often denotes an issue by a quaestor. The attribution to Cilicia or Syria is 
based on the find spots.
