Altar of Lugdunum
CAESAR PONT MAX
Laureate head of Augustus, right.
ROM ET AVG
Altar flanked by two columns each surmounted by Victory.
Various sacred items on top; mystic symbols to front.
Copper As   22.5 mm     9.5 gm

Augustus took a risky break with tradition by allowing
himself to be the object of cult adoration.  To minimize
the affront to his fellow Romans, he permitted the 
practice only in the West.  Interestingly, the year of 
dedication in 10 BC saw the birth of Claudius in the same
place.
