| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the legend AVGVSTVS TRIBVNIC POTEST inscribed within a wreath of laurel branches, the leaves rendered in bold relief arranged in an oval garland enclosing the text. There is no portrait effigy on this die; instead, the inscription itself constitutes the primary design, a format characteristic of certain Augustan aes coinage of the moneyers series. The wreath is tied at the base with a distinctive ribbon or knot, visible at the bottom of the flan. The lettering is set in three lines within the wreath's interior field. The overall style reflects the restrained, epigraphic aesthetic of Roman senatorial bronze coinage issued under Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This dupondius belongs to a series issued under the authority of the tresviri monetales — junior magistrates appointed to oversee the mint — whose names appear prominently on the coinage as part of Augustus's careful reconstruction of Republican monetary forms after Actium. C. Gallius Lupercus held this post around 16 BC, one of three such officials active that year. The prominent S·C on the bronze coinage of this period reflects a deliberate constitutional fiction: the Senate nominally controlled the aes coinage while Augustus retained authority over gold and silver, a division that papered over the realities of autocratic rule.
