Assarius Coin of Augustus

Assarius Coin of Augustus



‎This obverse of this bronze coin, issued in 15 B.C. in Rome while Caesar Augustus ruled, features an inscription honoring Augustus ringed by an oak leaf wreath. On the reverse, the name of the monetary official who oversaw production of the coin rings the large letters “S.C.,” for “Senatus Consultus.” The Roman Senate minted it shortly after the Emperor authorized them to strike bronze coins. The assarius, also called the “as,” was the “penny” that Jesus mentioned in Matt 10:29.
‎Matt 10:29, Luke 2:1, Luke 12:6
