| Aanvullende informatie |
The "OB CIVIS SERVATOS" oak wreath reverse refers to the corona civica, Rome's second-highest military decoration, awarded for saving the life of a citizen in battle. The Senate granted Augustus a permanent golden version in 27 BC as part of the constitutional settlement that nominally restored the Republic — a calculated political gesture that let him accumulate extraordinary power while maintaining the fiction of traditional governance. This issue, struck at a traveling mint likely in Spain, coincides with Augustus's campaigns against the Cantabrians and his reorganization of the western provinces.
