Purchased by the consignor from Marcantica, 5 December 2015.
Although Crawford assigned this issue to the period after Actium, Octavian’s titles are consistent with the earlier 30s BC. The strong naval theme clearly alludes to a naval engagement. Sydenham believed it to have been struck to commemorate Agrippa’s victory at the Battle of Naulochus in September of 36 BC.
