A number of the ”OB CIVIS SERVATOS” sestertii have come on the market in recent years. While most Augustan coinage was clearly meant to pay for troops and large construction projects it can be said that the bronzes were meant for the common people. Clearly it was important for Augustus to be recognized by the plebs for receiving this honor. MSG.
