Coins of Augustus (27 BC – AD 14)
Coins of Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, mark the transition from the Republic to the Principate and reflect the political, military and economic reorganization of the Roman world. Minted between 27 BC and AD 14, they include denarii, aurei, sestertii and bronze issues struck in Rome and provincial mints, featuring idealized portraits, military victories, symbols of peace and prosperity and themes celebrating the restoration of order after the civil wars. These issues represent the beginning of Roman imperial coinage and form one of the most important and sought‑after series in ancient numismatics.
