Watch List notes:

Augustus, 27 BC-AD 14. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.87 g, 6 h), Rome, under the moneyer L. Aquillius Florus, 19 BC. L AQVILLIVS FLORVS III VIR Helmeted and draped bust of Virtus to right, feather on the side of his helmet. Rev. AVGVSTVS CAESAR Augustus, driving biga of elephants to left, holding laurel branch over the backs of the elephants. BMC 36. BMCRR 4545. Cohen 354. RIC 301. Flan faults on both sides, otherwise, nearly very fine.


The obverse of this coin is taken from the issues of the moneyer's ancestor, Mn.Aquillius who struck coins in 71 BC (Crawford 401). The reverse type, also used by the moneyer's two colleagues M. Durmius and P. Petronius Turpilianus, probably refers to the triumph over the Armenians.
