Augustus, Caesar

Based on analysis of over 800 coins, there appears to have been a destabilization of the Tyrian shekel in about 44 B.C.E. and a re-stabilization in about 13 B.C.E. The re-stabilization coincides with the appearance of the control mark KP (or KAP) and which continues throughout the remaining duration of these coins. The destabilization correlates closely with the instability of the Roman Empire prior to the rise of Augustus Caesar, and the re-stabilization correlates to the re-stabilization of Roman mints and with interactions between Augustus, Herod, and the Temple authorities in Jerusalem. 

The as of Augustus and Julius Caesar (A-601) is an overstrike on a much older coin. The overstrike accounts for the presence of cobalt as well as other anomalies in the composition of this coin (e.g., relatively high nickel and antimony contents). 

Like Homs, Aeneas was the Son of God. Both Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus claimed descent from him." The myth of Aeneas became very important to the Rosicmcians in the seventeenth century. As previously mentioned, he is one of the nine noble warriors. Lrederick II decorated his bedchamber at Sans Souci with esoteric reliefs of Julius Caesar and Augustus. 

Marcus Terentius Varro (medieval illustration) was appointed by Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) to plan a grand public library in Rome. After Caesar s assassination, this project remained unfinished. Having been outlawed and prosecuted by Mark Antony, Varro s life was saved by Octavian (the later Augustus), and he spent the rest of his life in seclusion at his estate in the Sabini Mountains engaged in his literary pursuits. 

Caesar was assassinated, but the Republic still came to an end. Augustus and then Tiberius made their assumption of power more palatable by emphasising public service games and the corn dole were not the only palliatives. The Claudians adjusted the ideal of engineering towards the provision of infrastructure as a public duty, with political and social stability embodied in stone by a beneficent state. 

Die funeris [Augusti] milites. . . [ On the day of the funeral [of Augustus], soldiers were lined up like a guard. This was much ridiculed by those who had themselves witnessed (or whose fathers had described to them) that day on which servitude was still a new experience and freedom was reclaimed with adverse consequences, namely, the day of Caesar s murder, considered by some the worst of crimes, but by others the noblest of deeds. ] " ...
