<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 4565225, member: 74282&quot;]That&#039;s always a tough question. Some are mentioned in the histories we have, like the Lepidus posted above. I tried not to recreate Harlan&#039;s entire chapter on it, but there is very good evidence that it existed and I suggest anyone interested in the coins of this period pick up Harlan&#039;s books.</p><p><br /></p><p>The existence of the statue depicted on Octavian&#039;s denarius is not quite as certain. There isn&#039;t as much historical evidence for it but there has been a plaque from a statue of Julius Caesar found in an archaeological dig with the same &quot;POPVL IVSSV&quot; text and it is believed to have been on many statues erected during this period. There are some arguments that this coin instead depicts a statue of Julius Caesar for which there is much better evidence to have existed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
