- Title
A New Coin and a New Interpretation: Caesar Augustus’ ‘First Settlement’ of 28-27 BCE.
- Authors
Marshall, Bruce
- Abstract
The article focuses on the discovery of a unique ancient Roman gold coin, which has led to a reevaluation of a pivotal event in Roman history: the transition from the republic to the principate of Augustus. This coin, unearthed over thirty years ago and now displayed in the British Museum, provided crucial evidence that challenged previous interpretations of Caesar's dealings with the Senate, shedding new light on historical timelines and potentially dispelling doubts about its authenticity.
