Ex Roma Numismatics sale I, 2010, 266.

This coin type is one I referred to many times while doing presentations. The reverse image of Victory atop the globe clearly shows that the ancient Greeks and Romans were well aware that the world was round. Here the clear implication is that Augustus is victorious over the world. And for good measure, this coin is in a superb state of preservation with all detail present. MSG.
