  Augustalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The augustalis was a gold coin produced by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II beginning in 1231 at the Sicilian mints of Messina and Brindisi.
The name augustalis means literally "of the august one", referring to the coin's provenance from the Emperor himself, but also linking it with the Roman Emperor, who was commonly styled Augustus.
The Governor or Prefect of Egypt, in particular, was called Augustalis, or Praefectus Augustalis, as being first established by Augustus, after the defeat of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra.

 Fréjus
The legend which states that a certain Cleon, who accompanied St. Lazarus to Gaul was the founder of the Church of Toulon, is based on an apocryphal document composed in the fourteenth century and ascribed to a sixth-century bishop named Didier.
Honoratus and Gratianus, according to the "Gallia Christiana" were the first bishops of Toulon whose names are known to history, but Duchesne gives Augustalis as the first historical bishop.
He assisted at councils in 441 and 442 and signed in 449 and 450 the letters addressed to Pope Leo I from the province of Arles.

Emperor Frederick II was continuing this tradition, when he revived European minting in gold in the year 1231.
The new coin was called the augustalis (20.5 Karat, 5.25 g), was struck in Messina and Brindisi, and was one of the most beautiful gold coins of the Middle Ages.
Thus Frederick ushered in a new age of Western numismatic history, which was to begin making its full effect on economic policy only 20 years later, in the year 1252, with the creation in Florence of the fiorini doro, or gold florins.

The Emperor was represented there by a governor sui generis styled Praefectus Augustalis (the very title evokes the religious cult of the Emperor).
The prestige governorships of Africa and Asia remained with the title proconsul, and the special right to refer matters directly to the Emperor; the Praefectus Augustalis in Alexandria and the Comes Orientis in Antioch also retained special titles.
Otherwise the governors of provinces had various titles without obvious logic, some known as consularis, some as corrector, some as praeses.

 Computus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest known Roman tables were devised in 222 by Hippolytus of Rome based on 8-year cycles.
Then 84-year tables were introduced in Rome by Augustalis near the end of the third century.
These old tables were used in the British Isles until 664, and by isolated monasteries as late as 931.

 Majesty - LoveToKnow 1911
This application is to be traced to the use of majestas in Latin to express the supreme sovereign dignity of the Roman state, the majestas reipublicae or populi Romani, hence majestatem laedere or minuere, was to commit high treason, crimen majestatis.
(For the modern law and usage of laesa majestas, lese majest y, Majestatsbeleidigung, see Treason.) From the republic majestas was transferred to the emperors, and the majestas populi Romani became the majestas imperil, and augustalis majestas is used as a term to express the sovereign person of the emperor.
Honorius and Theodosius speak of themselves in the first person as nostra majestas.

 The Life of Oliver Goldsmith, by Washington Irving (chapter34)
Goldsmith wrote an epilogue for the tragedy of Zobeide; and Cradock, who was an amateur musician, arranged the music for the Threnodia Augustalis, a lament on the death of the Princess Dowager of Wales, the political mistress and patron of Lord Clare, which Goldsmith had thrown off hastily to please that nobleman.
The Threnodia Augustalis was not publicly known to be by Goldsmith until several years after his death.
Cradock was one of the few polite intimates who felt more disposed to sympathize with the generous qualities of the poet than to sport with his eccentricities.

"Men met each other with erected look, The steps were higher that they took; Friends to congratulate their friends made haste, And long inveterate foes saluted as they pass'd." John Dryden; Threnodia Augustalis; 1685.
The first man to see an illusion by which men have flourished for centuries surely stands in a lonely place.

 Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. IV
The name Egypt in the fourth century was applied firstly to the `diocese' or group of provinces governed by the Praefectus Aegypti or `Praefectus Augustalis,' secondly to the Delta or Aegyptus Propria, one of the provinces of which the diocese was made up.
Upon the above facts was founded the (perhaps merely popular) title `Augustalis' which we find already applied to the Prefect of Egypt about a.d.
But Sievers (ubi supr.), following Mommsen, contends that there is reason to think that the dignity of `Augustal' Prefect was officially created about a.d.
