Ancients: Caesar's Comet

Thanks Doug and Jim.

I'm going to hold off to find the right one.

Sometimes I can get really impulsive when I see something that I'm fascinated by. But, I'm glad that I'm going to be patient for the right one to show up.

Thanks for the inspiration, though!

Fantastic thread!!! I'm sorry I missed it originally....

Simply superb posts everyone and a fantastic write-up @AncientJoe

This example of mine has the barely visible comet/star depicted on the reverse....above the stylized 'youthful' bust of Caesar:

 

I just read an article that states that this crescent and star pattern may actually depict a total solar eclipse in progress.

 

Hi

I was wondering if you can help me. I work on the Sky at Night - the BBC 's long running astronomy programme.

I'm currently making a programme about comets - and wanted an image of Caesar's comet to use in the programme.

I love the image of the coin you posted here.
Would it be possible for us to use this image in our programme.

You can e-mail me on Michael.lachmann@bbc.co.uk

Many thanks
