Beschrijving keerzijde Radiate head of the deified Augustus facing left, the radiate crown of seven rays identifying his divine status as Divus Augustus. A star appears above the portrait in the upper field, while a thunderbolt — an attribute of Jupiter and emblem of imperial power — is placed in the field before the face. The encircling Latin legend names Augustus as father of the fatherland, reinforcing the posthumous honorific. The composition is arranged with deliberate symbolic intent, associating the deified predecessor with celestial and divine authority.

Aanvullende informatie

This dupondius belongs to a small group of posthumous issues for Augustus struck under Tiberius, most likely at a Spanish provincial mint — RPC I 3918 places it within the Hispanic series rather than Rome itself. Augustus died in 14 AD, and Tiberius moved quickly to cement his own legitimacy through deification coinage, embedding the title DIVVS AVGVSTVS into the public visual record of Roman currency. The pairing of father and successor on a single coin was deliberate political architecture, not sentimentality.
