Augustean Moneyer List

The Roman Mint Magistrates were responsible for the minting of gold, silver and bronze coinage. They were known as the Triumviri Monetales (or Triumviri Auro, Argento, Aeri, Flando, Feriundo shortened into III VIR AAA FF) meaning 'one of three men for the striking and casting of gold, silver and bronze'. The Moneyer title occurs rarely on Republic coins but frequently during Augustus' reign.
After the roman mints had been shut in 40 BC. with the death of ole J.C. (Julius Caesar), having a board of (three) moneyers was discontinued. The army leaders now issued coins in their own name, (i.e. Brutus, Cassius, Marcus Antonius, Octavian, etc.). Octavian thus financed his own personal army.
When in 27 BC, Octavian had won the civil war he became officially First Citizen and 'Augustus'. He then started with restoring the state for the Senate and the people. He did not immediately restore the Senate's right to issue coins until in 23 bc when the Roman mint was reopened. In 15 bc Augustus allowed an Imperial mint to strike Aureii and Denarii. This Mint was in Lugdunum, (Lyons, France). The mint in Rome continued to strike base metal coins and therefore since then only copper/ bronze coins have the text SC (Senatus Consulta – with consent of the senate). After 12 BC moneyers ceased to appear on the bronze coins. Clearly there must have been a good reason for this, but one we don't know (yet).
