[QUOTE="Ancient Aussie, post: 3320561, member: 80147"]My lifetime JC was purchased for a few reasons, first I thought the Dupondius was a lot better value than the more popular elephant Denarius being a lot more rare. Second I love the big brass coins and third I can't afford a decent portrait silver. Also the historically important coins as it exemplifies Caesar's victories over Pompey, specifically at the battle of Pharsalus where Pompey was decisively defeated capturing 20,000 men with Pompey fleeing to Egypt where he was executed. Footnote...C. Clovius could be one of the six prefects "pr و fecti Urbi" appointed by Caesar before his departure for Spain in order to fight the Pompeian forces. This character was later governor of Cisalpine Gaul. [ATTACH=full]880267[/ATTACH] JULIUS CAESAR, 44 BC. [B]AE Dupondus[/B], 45 BC. Mint in Italy, Rare Roman Republic Dia.: 26 mm Wt.: 13.05 g Obv.: Bust of Victory right Rev.: C CLOVI PRAEF Minerva advancing left, snake, spear and shield. Ref.: Cr 476. Ex Klassische Munzen[/QUOTE]
