Gold aureus of Octavian. Roman, 28 BC. Probably minted in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). - Augustus portrayed his victory over Mark Antony and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt as the restoration of the Republic of the People of Rome, as the design on the back of this coin proclaims. He is shown seated in his toga holding out a scroll, while the Latin legend reads: LEGES ET IVRA P[OPVLO] R[OMANO] RESTITVIT ('He has restored to the People of Rome their laws and their rights').
