Augustus Caesar, born Octavian, transformed Rome from a republic into an empire and ushered in an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana. After defeating Mark Antony and Cleopatra, he ruled for over 40 years, establishing Rome's first permanent army and navy, reforming taxation and creating the governmental framework that would sustain the Roman Empire for centuries. This particular coin type celebrates his dynastic plans through the prominent display of his heirs.
