| Additional information |
Struck under Tiberius but bearing the name of Augustus, this as belongs to a post-humous series issued from the mint of Rome shortly after Augustus's death in 14 AD. The SC — senatus consulto — reflects the Senate's retained nominal authority over base metal coinage, a constitutional arrangement Augustus himself engineered to preserve the appearance of republican governance while concentrating real power elsewhere. Tiberius continued issuing coins honoring his predecessor for several years, a deliberate act of dynastic legitimacy rather than sentiment.
