Description: This ancient Roman coin from the Imperial era, dating back between 14 BC and 10 BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus, is a rare find that's over 2000 years old. The coin features the image Emperor Augustus on one side and a wreath with the letters Iulia Trad (Julia Traducta). Iulia Traducta was a colony established by the Romans in present-day Spain over 2000 years ago. Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14), also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor; he reigned from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. He is known for being the founder of the Roman Principate, which is the first phase of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest leaders in human history. The reign of Augustus initiated an imperial cult as well as an era associated with imperial peace, the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta. The Roman world was largely free from large-scale conflict for more than two centuries despite continuous wars of imperial expansion on the empire's frontiers and the year-long civil war known as the "Year of the Four Emperors" over the imperial succession. Originally named Gaius Octavius, Augustus was born into an old and wealthy equestrian branch of the plebeian gens Octavia. His maternal great-uncle Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and Octavius was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and heir; as a result, he inherited Caesar's name, estate, and the loyalty of his legions. He, Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. This coin is a true piece of history that collectors and enthusiasts alike will appreciate. The coin is in nice condition, with details and a beautiful patina that adds to its charm. It's a must-have for anyone interested in ancient Roman history and numismatics. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to own a piece of the past. C366
