Summary[edit]

Description
Українська: Реверс (зворотний бік) срібного денарія, випущеного Римською імперією, приблизно 2040 років тому. На аверсі зображено Цезаря Августа (Гая Октавіана), першого імператора Стародавньої Римської імперії - він правив з 27 р. до н. до 14 р. н. е. Монету викарбувана на монетному дворі у Цезаравгусті (сучасне місто Сарагоса), в Іспанії, у 19–18 роках до н.е. На реверсі показано стилізоване зображення найвідомішої і найяскравішої у стародавньому світі комети, видимої навіть вдень, комети Цезаря. Вона з’явився влітку 44 або 43 року до н. е. Появу комети римляни сприйняли як душу Юлія Цезаря, прийняту на небо. На монеті написано «DIVVS IVLIV» — «Божественний Юлій». Хвіст комети зображено біля 12 години.
English: This is the reverse side of a ~2040 year old, one denarius silver coin issued by the Roman Empire. The obverse side depicts Caesar Augustus (real name: Gaius Octavian), the first emperor of the ancient Roman Empire - he ruled from 27 B.C. to 14 A.D. The coin was produced at the Caesaraugusta Mint in Spain (= modern day city of Zaragoza) in 19 to 18 B.C. Seen here is a stylized representation of the most famous and brightest, daytime-visible comet in history, Comet Caesar. It appeared in the summer of 44 B.C., several months after Julius Caesar was murdered by Marcus Junius Brutus and others on 15 March 44 B.C. The appearance of the comet was interpreted by many as the soul of Julius Caesar. The text on the coin reads "DIVVS IVLIV" - "Divine Julius". The comet's tail is depicted at near-12 o'clock.
