    I like a coin with a good story and characters that I haven't run into before - this one is not about the Pittsburgh or Las Vegas Gladiators or Cleveland Gladiators and a foot ball interception - but rather about a coin issued by a Roman governor who was mopping up after Actium and his efforts to stop loyal supporters of Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

    Post your coins of Augustus, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Agrippa, coins issued in Roman Antioch, or anything else you find interesting or entertaining.

    @Bing - I wonder if anyone on CT has a complete set of Mark Antony legionary denarii :)

    I thought I had a complete set, but I think I may still be missing one example: Legio IIX. I think I saw one presented here a few months ago.

    Octavian turned out to be a very good emperor. I don't think Mark Anthony would have worked out that well. It's funny. No matter how old August Caeasar became, he never aged on his coins.
