The information is now quite dated (actually it needs re-writing badly, but I no longer have the energy to undertake that) but I thought it might be of some interest and use to members of this Forum who are beginning collectors:</font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="6">.............................................................................................</font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="6"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="6"><b> Introduction to Julio</b></font></font><b><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="6">-Claudian Roman Imperial Coins</font></font></b></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="6"><b>For beginning Collectors</b></font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><img src="http://jp29.org/000jco.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://jp29.org/000jcr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; JULIUS CAESAR AS DICTATOR IN PERPETUITY, MARCH 44 BC</b></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Denarius, Crawford, Roman Republican Coins (RRC), No. 480/8 (March 44 BC - Alföldi)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Coin obverse depiction: Julius Caesar laureate bust facing right</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Inscription clockwise from right: <b>CAESAR DICT PERPETVO</b></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Coin reverse depiction: Venus standing, facing left, holding statuette of victory on palm of right hand and supporting vertical scepter with left hand</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Inscription vertical to right: <b>L BVCA</b> (Moneyer)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Provenance: Ex C.J.

Although he was Pater Familias of the Julian clan, Julius Caesar was never an Emperor. He died, by assassination, as Dictator in perpetuity, 15 March, 44 BC.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></p><ul> <li><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://jp29.org/ricdenom.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/ricdenom.htm" rel="nofollow">Coin Denominations &amp; Notes on Fabrication</a> - information relating to fabrication, style and comparison of relative values.</font></li> <li><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://jp29.org/capmon.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/capmon.htm" rel="nofollow">Coin Inscriptional Lettering</a> - Capitalis Monumentalis was the lettering style used on these coins.</font></li> <li><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://jp29.org/ricdi.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/ricdi.htm" rel="nofollow">Coin Reading and Attributing</a> - name forms and titles -- use of abbreviations and how to read and interpret them.</font></li> <li><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://jp29.org/ricbio.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/ricbio.htm" rel="nofollow">Biographical Notes &amp; Portraits</a> - of the Caesarian Emperors -- Augustus, Tiberius, Caius (Caligula), Claudius, Nero.</font></li> <li><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://jp29.org/ricbib.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/ricbib.htm" rel="nofollow">Selected References</a> -- relating to Julio-Claudian coins, general Roman Imperial Coins plus Roman coin evaluation/pricing guide books.</font></li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
