Augustus, 23 September 63 BC – 19 August 14 AD was the founder of the Roman Empire and its first Emperor, ruling from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD. Born into an old, wealthy equestrian branch of the plebeian Octavii family, in 44 BC Augustus was adopted posthumously by his maternal great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar following Caesar’s assassination. Together with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus, he formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. Following their victory at Phillipi, the Triumvirate divided the Roman Republic among themselves and ruled as military dictators. The Triumvirate was eventually torn apart under the competing ambitions of its members: Lepidus was driven into exile and stripped of his position, and Antony committed suicide following his defeat at the Battle of Actium by Augustus in 31 BC. After the demise of the Second Triumvirate, Augustus restored the outward facade of the free Republic, with governmental power vested in the Roman Senate, the executive magistrates, and the legislative assemblies. In reality, however, he retained his autocratic power over the Republic as a military dictator. By law, Augustus held a collection of powers granted to him for life by the Senate, including supreme military command, and those of tribune and censor. It took several years for Augustus to develop the framework within which a formally republican state could be led under his sole rule. He rejected monarchical titles, and instead called himself Princeps Civitatis (“First Citizen”). The resulting constitutional framework became known as the Principate, the first phase of the Roman Empire. The reign of Augustus initiated an era of relative peace known as the Pax Romana (The Roman Peace). Despite continuous wars or imperial expansion on the Empire’s frontiers and one year-long civil war over the imperial succession, the Mediterranean world remained at peace for more than two centuries. Augustus dramatically enlarged the Empire, annexing Egypt, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Noricum, and Raetia, expanded possessions ins in Africa, expanded into Germania, and completed the conquest of Hispania. Beyond the frontiers, he secured the Empire with a buffer region of client states, and made peace with the Parthian Empire through diplomacy. He reformed the Roman system of taxation, developed networks of roads with an official courier system, established a standing army, established the Praetorian Guard, created official police and fire-fighting services for Rome, and rebuilt much of the city during his reign. Augustus died in 14 AD at the age of 75. He may have died from natural causes, although there were unconfirmed rumors that his wife Livia poisoned him. He was succeeded as Emperor by his adopted son (also stepson and former son-in-law), Tiberius.

This ancient Kingdom of Cappadocia Drachm from the reign of King Ariobarzanes I is a beautiful piece of history. It was minted between 96 BC – 63 BC in ancient Cappadocia. Ariobarzanes I was originally put in place by the citizens vote of Cappadocia after the Roman Senate rejected the claims of Ariarathes IX of Cappadocia and was supported by the Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Sulla. He was in control on-and-off of a kingdom that was considered a Roman protectorate and he was removed three separate times by King Mithridates before not only securing but actually increasing his lands under general Pompey in the Third Mithridatic War. He eventually abdicated, making way for the rule of his son Ariobarzanes II of Cappadocia in 63/62 BC. NGC certifies most US, world, and ancient coins, tokens, and medals.

This ancient NGC genuine Nabataea kingdom coin is a remarkable piece of history. It was minted under the reign of Rabbel II and Gamilat in ancient Petra Jordan. The Nabataean Kingdom was situated in the north-western Arabian Peninsula. It stretched south along the Red Sea coast into the Hejaz, and as far north as Damascus, which was briefly under Nabataean control. Nabataea was an independent state from the 4th century BC until it was annexed in AD 106 by the Roman Empire, and transformed into the imperial Province of Arabia Petraea. The capital of the kingdom was Petra, which at its peak had 30,000 residents and boasted a theater seating 8,000. Aristocrats and merchants competed to carve monumental tombs into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, mixing Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian architecture. Initially, Nabataeans used the coins of trading partners, mostly those of the Ptolemaic Egypt and Phoenician Tyre. Early Nabataean coins are anonymous, overstruck on bronzes of the first three Ptolemies, who ruled Egypt from 303 to 221 BC. These coins are crude imitations of gold staters of Alexander the Great. The first Nabataean ruler to issue coins bearing his name and portrait was Obodas I (96-86 BC). Only a few examples of his silver drachms are known to exist today. Most surviving Nabataean coins date from the reign of Aretas IV Philopatris (9 BC-AD 40), who issued over 50 different types in silver and bronze. Nabataea continued to issue coins until the death of its last king, Rabbel II Soter (70-106 AD). During the Roman rule, Petra continued to issue occasinally autonomous provincial bronze coins. This coin is a great addition to any collection of ancient coins and is a must-have for collectors of Roman coins.
