DIVO AUGUST. As. (Ae. 13.07g / 28mm). 98 AD Rome. Anv: DIVVS AVGVSTVS. Naked bust of Divo Augusto. Rev: IMP NERVA CAES AVG REST. Winged lightning. (RIC 130). XF. Retouched. Scarce specimen. In the last year of Nerva's reign, this commemorative or posthumous coin is issued in the name of Augustus. It combines the portraits of both emperors on the front and back. In general, although it is not the case of the coin in question, the portrait of the Divo usually appears with a radiated crown. It should also be noted that pieces of this type were minted in the name of Divas, in the case of these, their faces are usually covered by a veil.
