Abstract
The altar depicted on the reverse is usually identified as the altar of the sanctuary of the three Gauls (tres Galliae) in Lugdunum.
Under Augustus, the coinage was re-arranged in a system where gold-, silver- and bronze coins were given fixed values. The sestertius was the largest bronze coin with 4 sestertii equivalent to one silver denarius.
