[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 5283488, member: 110350"]Am I correct that this moneyer was an uncle of "the" Julius Caesar? I looked this coin up in RSC and Crawford, because I definitely want to buy one -- along with several of the other types you've posted! -- whenever I find an example in decent condition. Interestingly, although you're technically correct that this was the first coin on which the name CAESAR appeared, it seems that about 25 years earlier, in 129 BCE, another relative, named Sextus Julius Caesar, issued a coin (Crawford 258) on which the name CAISAR appeared.
