Catalog of Coins of the Roman Empire
in the Ashmolean Museum, Part I; Augustus (c. 31 BC - A.D. 14),
by C. H. V. Sutherland and C. M. Kraay. Hrdcover, folio. 1975
1507 coins of Augustus, or struck in the time of Augustus,
almost all illustrated by casts. Bascially SNG format, with very little
discussion. Good indicies. Also very strong for Spain (Roman
provincial), Mauritania (Juba, etc.), and Roman Provincial of the East
(all only the time of Augustus).
If you collect Octavian/Augustus, this is essential.
Of course, BMC I and RIC I.

C. H. V. Sutherland. 1970. Hardcover. RNS Special
Publication 5.
A complete discussion of his cistophori, including
