Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the As - Augustus (CA) coin is that it features an image of Augustus Caesar, who was the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a picture of a Roman warship on the other. This design was meant to symbolize Augustus' success in expanding the Roman Empire through military conquests and his role as the leader of the Roman state.
