Comment
Issued by an uncertain mint probably from North West of Spain.Interesting fact
The Augustus coin from Lusitania (Roman provinces) has an interesting fact: it was minted during the reign of Augustus Caesar, who ruled Rome from 27 BC to 14 AD. He was the first Roman Emperor and was known for his wise and effective rule, which brought a period of relative peace and stability to the Roman Empire.
