Nice coin, Ivan. Now that you have a scanner, you might want to learn how to edit your scanned images. A good starting point would be to practice with Windows Paint.

Could it be Cassius Longinus, the Senator?

Better still:
Augustus Æ Dupondius. Struck 16 BC, C Cassius Celer, moneyer. CAESAR AVGVSTVS TRINVNIC POTEST/ C CASSIVS CELER IIIVIR AAAFF around large S C. Cohen 409. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/augustus/RIC_0376.2.jpg
Don.....
Edit: Correct allignment of Bob's pic on the right would be to rotate the coin 90 degrees to the right so that 'caesar' is at the top; then profile appears facing right.

mine has no wreath -- on head side--- head with "ceasaraugustus" running from over head to the righ side --on rear a large SC with letters in a circle-- looks like-- AAFIC (or G ) . CASSIUS

thinking early era --augustus ceaser with moneyer as cassius

ps wild wind "hot link" a no go --disabled

There is no wreath in the citing I gave you.
