Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). AR Denarius, 21-20 BC. Obv. CAESAR. Bare head right. Rev. AVGVSTVS. Young bull standing right, head erect. RIC I (2nd ed.) 475. 3.52 g. 20 mm. Large flan with golden hues. EF. The animal depicted has been identified by some authors as a heifer, while others describe it as a cow. The horns and the thick, pleated neck are more characteristic of a bull. The two main deities honored at Samos were Hera and Poseidon ταυρεος. Augustus stayed in Samos between the winter of 21 and the winter of 20 BC. For information regarding these coins, see C.H. Sutherland, 'The Attribution of Augustan Denarii to the Types of the Temple, the Crown, and the Young Bull,' in RN (1974), pp. 58-62.
