ROMAN IMPERATORIAL Issues related to the Victory in the Battle of Actium. Octavian. 30-29 BC. AR Denarius (3.72 g, 21mm ). Italian (Rome?) mint. Bare head right / IMP CAESAR on the architrave of Octavian’s Actian arch (arcus Octaviani), showing a single span surmounted by Octavian in facing triumphal quadriga. NGC 8463430-009 VF 5/5 - 2/5 A historically significant denarius issued by Octavian (later Augustus) around 30-29 BC, likely minted in Italy. This coin commemorates his decisive victory at the Battle of Actium, which marked the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. The reverse features an arch, symbolizing triumph, while the presence of a banker’s mark attests to its circulation in the ancient world. A great addition to any serious collection of Roman Imperatorial coinage!
