When RPC was first published, it followed Copenhagen, Imhooff-Blumer, and von Aulock in describing the obverse as being that of Augustus and dating it to his reign. They include a note, “The dating of the coin and the identification of the portrait as Augustus are extremely uncertain.” Since publication, the RPC team has moved the date earlier and tentatively identified the portrait as Apollo(?)
