II. Not traced.
III. Before 717. Cohen, Vipsan. 3, gives a coin with the words imp. divi Juli f. ter. iii Vir v. p. c. M. Agrippa cos. desig. Agrippa entered his consulship Jan. 1, 717.
IV. Probably connected with the Sicilian victory and ovation of 718.
V. 720 or 721. Probably connected with Dalmatian victories of one of those years. Cf. C. I. L. V, 526.
VI. From Sept. 2, 723, to 725. On account of Actium. Cf. Oros. VI, 19, 14. C. I. L. X, 3826. Imp. Cæsari divi f. imp. vi, cos. iii (723). C. I. L. X, 4830, imp. Cæsari divi f. cos. v (725) imp. vi.
VII. From 725 to 729. C. I. L. VI, 873: senatus populusque Romanus imp. Cæsari divi Juli f. cos. quinct. (725) cos. desig. sex. imp. sept. republica conservata. On account of Thracian and Dacian victory of M. Licinius Crassus. Dio LI, 25, says: “Sacrifices and festivals were decreed to Cæsar and to Crassus. He did not, however, as some say, take the name imperator. Cæsar alone assumed that.”
VIII. From 729 to 734. Two inscriptions at Nismes (Donat. 96, 6) read: imp. Cæsari divi f. Augusto cos. nonum (729) designato decimum, imp. octavum. Dio LIII, 26, says it was for a Celtic victory of Marcus Vinicius.
IX. From 734 to 739 (?) Coins have the inscription Augustus Cæsar div. f. Armen. capt. imp. viii. These commemorate the Armenian expedition of Tiberius in 734. Possibly Augustus took the title on account of the return of the captured standards from Parthia, which he accounted a greater triumph than many a victory in open warfare.
X. 739 (?) to 742. C. I. L. V, 8088 and others: Augustus imp. x, tribunicia potestate xi. The latter falls in the years 742, 743. Probably referable to successes in Rhætian war of 739.
XI. 742. Coins (Cohen, n. 147-150) give: imp. xi. The causes were the successes of Tiberius in Pannonia in 742. Dio LIV, 31.
