[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3024752, member: 56859"]Thanks for the interesting writeup, and of course your coins are fantastic! I particularly like your choice of lifetime denarii. Someday I hope to have a lifetime portrait of Caesar, preferable with the Dictator legend. For now though I have just these two denarii which were part of an apparently massive emission from his traveling mint, struck to pay the soldiers as Legio XIII Geminia made its way across the Rubicon and into history.

Obv: elephant standing right, trampling on serpent; CAESAR in exergue Rev: simpulum, sprinkler, axe, and priest's hat. Ref: Crawford 443/1; Sydenham 1006[/QUOTE]
