| Additional information |
Augustus held the title IMP XII between 11 and 10 BC, a dating anchored to his twelfth imperatorial acclamation — a salutation awarded by troops following a military victory, in this case likely connected to campaigns on the Danube frontier under his stepsons Tiberius and Drusus. The acclamation system was itself a political tool; Augustus accumulated these titles strategically, each one reinforcing his military authority without requiring him to leave Rome.
RIC 189B is distinguished from the closely related 189A by its reverse die pairing — a distinction that rewards careful attribution in hand.
