[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3541613, member: 91461"]Amazing piece of history and great write up on one of my favorite times in Roman history... The beginning of the imperial period! A coin of Lepidus, any type, is certainly high on my must have list. Always thought it inexplicable that Octavian waited for Lepidus to die, despite his dishonor, before taking the title of Pontifex Maximus. Though much of what Oct/Aug did early on was intentionally veiled in mystery. Here's my MA Octavian quin. Surely the sorriest coin in the thread, but one that hasn't been posted here (though I'd bet most of you have one). [ATTACH=full]941343[/ATTACH] Marc Antony & Octavian AR Quinarius. Military mint moving with Octavian, 39 BC. Head of Concordia right, wearing diadem and veil, III VIR R P C around / Two hands clasped around caduceus, M ANTON C CAESAR around. Crawford 529/4b[/QUOTE]
