Octavian, as Imperator and Triumvir (43-33 BC). AR denarius (22mm, 3.85 gm, 2h). NGC XF 2/5 - 4/5. Uncertain mint in Italy, 37 BC. IMP•CAESAR-DIVI•F•III•VIR•ITER•R•P•C, bare head of Octavian right, with short beard / COS•ITER•ET•TER•DESIG, culullus, aspergillum, oenochoe, and lituus. Crawford 538/1. Sydenham 1334. Julia 140.

Born on 23 September 63 BC into a wealthy plebeian family, Augustus, originally Gaius Octavius, was the grandnephew and posthumously adopted son of Julius Caesar. This inheritance set him on a collision course with Rome's political elite, leading to the formation of the Second Triumvirate with Marc Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Their initial unity against Caesar's assassins eventually gave way to conflict, from which Augustus emerged as Rome's first true emperor after victories in key battles like Philippi and Actium. In 27 BC, he was honored with the title "Augustus" by the Senate, signaling the start of his reign and the Pax Romana, a golden era of peace, prosperity, and cultural flourishing that lasted over two centuries.
