Protagonists in Battle Coins

I was reading about the Sea Battle at Naulochus, between Sextus Pompey and my favorite Admiral Agrippa. I thought a display of battle leaders would be neat. Anyone have Sextus?

Coins of Sextus Pompey show a portrait of his father (Magnus). Easiest to find is the as with Janiform faces of Pompey the Great.


There are a couple denarii but all I have is this galley. I am not aware of coins with his name or portrait if they exist. That is a question for our Republican specialists.

 

Sextus Pompey honoring his father:


RImp Pompey 42-38 BC AE As Janus Prow Magnus S 1394 Cr 479-1


Marcus Agrippa honored by Augustus:


RI Augustus oak crown Agrippa rostral crown L AE Dupondius 26mm 12.6g Type III 9-3 BCE Nemausus chained Croc wreaths RIC I 158

 

Very cool, I like them alot

 

Not meaning to be nosey, but, what would one set be back?
A Social Security Check or do I need to sell stock?

 

I really like this one..

 

Some fun coins already!
I wish I could afford a better Sextus, like one of those Neptune denarii.
I gave this to my dad on Father's day:

And I REALLY wish there were more Agrippa coins.
Yes, Augustus owed everything to a name... and AGRIPPA!

I do love the Nem crocs:

No. Not that kind! That's a mean croc!
My collection so far;

 

A Social Security Check will cover both.
