Similar extracts from Virgil are seen elsewhere on Carausius’ coinage, and as Graham Barker has argued, this formed part of a wider policy of imperial propaganda that through coin legends and iconography cast Carausius as a true successor August and displayed the usurper’s rule as the catalyst for another golden age. The weights of Carausian Denarii have been subject to similar analysis. Estiot argued that Carausius struck his Denarii at an ideal weight of 3.90g, or 84 to the Roman pound, on the long since abandoned Augustan standard. This theory aligns well with the imagery deployed here which recalls the mythical founding of Rome.
