Interesting fact
The Augustus coin from Cabellio (Gallia Narbonensis) is notable for its depiction of the Roman emperor Augustus wearing a crown of laurel leaves, which symbolizes his status as a divine ruler. This imagery was carefully crafted to promote the idea of Augustus as a powerful and benevolent leader, and it helped to solidify his position as the first emperor of Rome.
