[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3541714, member: 87809"]This denarius maybe similar to the one shown by [URL='http://@akeady']@akeady[/URL] not sure. I attributed it as Crawford 495/2a. This issue was minted by Lepidus to commemorate the foundation of the Second Triumvirate composed of himself, Octavian and Anthony; it was financed through the proceeds from the extensive (bloody) proscriptions of perceived enemies (political opponents) during the preparations for the campaign against Brutus and Cassius in 43 - 42 BC. On this coinage he highlights his honor of Pontifex Maximus. A 20 year old Octavian looks very youthful. 16 x 17 mm, 3.87 g; Military mint traveling with Lepidus in Italy, 43 BC; Ref.: Crawford 495/2a; CRI 140; Sydenham 1323; RSC 2; Babelon, Aemila 35; BMC/RR(Africa).30; Ob.: LEPIDVS•PONT•MAX•III•V•R•P•C• Bare head of Lepidus right; NT and MA ligated Rev.: CAESAR•IMP•III• / VIR•R•P•C• Bare head of Octavian right [CENTER][ATTACH=full]941408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941409[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
