General: Rare coin from the reign of Octavius featuring a lifelike portrait of Julius Caesar. Countermark on the obverse. An example of an early and presumably effective public relations campaign from a time when Octavius and Mark Antony in direct opposition. Octavius, nephew to Julius Caesar issued coins describing himself as the son of the divine Julius. in doing so he promotes a link between Caesar's divinity and himself. He also emphasises his blood relationship to Julius Caesar and thus his legal claim as his heir.
