The ‘heifer’ aurei of Augustus
Résumé
This article is devoted to a rare, beautiful and intriguing series of gold coins of Augustus (27 bc-Ad 14) that bear a head of the emperor and the legend CAESAR on the obverse, and a heifer with the legend AVGVSTVS on the reverse 1 The most recent listing of this coinage is in a general book on aurei by Calicó, but it gives no indication as to the location (and number) of examples. Six types can be identified, as summarized in the table below.
