My latest post and coin are now on sullacoins.com: https://www.sullacoins.com/post/brutus-in-lycia-42-bce By early 42 BCE the triumvirs Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus controlled Italy and the West, and war was certain. Brutus and Cassius, commanding the East, had perhaps twenty legions to feed and pay, and a legionary's wage alone came to hundreds of denarii a year, millions upon millions of coins that had to come from somewhere. They came from the cities of the East. Most paid. Rhodes and the Lycian League refused. So Cassius sailed for Rhodes, and Brutus marched into Lycia, where the League's chief city, Xanthos, shut its gates...... This is where the story of this coin begins. Post your coins of the triumvirs, the liberators, or anything else that you find interesting or entertaining.
