Interesting fact
The Augustus coin from Segóbriga (Tarraconensis) is notable for its rare depiction of a Roman emperor with a beard. Augustus, also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor and ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD. He was known for his clean-shaven appearance, but this coin depicts him with a short beard, which was a departure from the traditional Roman style. This unique feature makes the coin a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in Roman currency and culture.
