Size: 18mm diameter, 3.37g weight Composition: Silver This coin commemorates a historical astronomical event, the appearance of a seven-day comet in 44 BC just a couple of months after the brutal assassination of Julius Caesar in the halls of the Roman Senate. The comet was said to represent Caesar's soul ascending to the heavens, and was leveraged by his heir Augustus as political propaganda, most notably on these coins. The reverse side of this coin features the comet and its tail, along with the words "DIVVS IVLIVS" or "Divus Julius", proclaiming Julius Caesar had reached divine status and was a god. Interested in other ancient Greek and Roman coins? Please check out our other listings. Augustus (born Octavian) was Julius Caesar's great-nephew and adoptive heir. He was responsible for the formal dissolution of the Roman Republic and its rebirth as the Roman Empire, having himself declared the first emperor (taking the name Augustus). He is considered one of the greatest leaders and political minds in human history, and his empire lived on for over 450 years after his death (1400 years if the Byzantine Empire is counted).
