The Aurea Aetas and Octavianic/Augustan Coinage
Résumé
symbols of Hellenistic divine monarchy into Roman coinage. Coin types such as the sidus Iulium,
cornucopia, Capricorn as well as Aion Plutonius, Apollo, and Diana represent a saeculum novum. A
survey of these types shows that this iconography was greatly influenced by Hellenistic artistic
media. Many of these Hellenistic images also advertised the advent of a new age. The concept of a
Golden Age clearly had roots in Hellenistic monarchy; and so, these Octavianic/Augustan coins
reflect these origins.
