​I guess the question is whether it's a aureus struck in 16-18 BC or 68-69 AD. I'm not aware of any aureus featuring Augustus struck in 68-69 AD so my best guess is it's RIC125 as PetrusAscanus said. If it was struck in 68-69 AD that would be a commemorative issue since Augustus was long dead by that time, I'm not aware of such coins but it is possible.

Seems you already have more knowledge on this coin than we do on Numista, I recommend trying https://www.forumancientcoins.com/ , they're more focused on ancient coins than us. :)
