Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus - Augustus (S·P·Q·R· CL·V; Victory) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on its reverse side, which was a common motif on Roman coins during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). The image of Victory was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military triumphs and the power of its rulers.
