<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 3433853, member: 101013&quot;]I won this coin at an auction of Kunker. I wanted a caesar coin of course, but the one with the portrait is quite a lot of money. So, more affordable, I liked this coin also a lot because of the story behind it: the crossing and the picture of elephant refering to pompey&#039;s failed entry to the city of Rome being pulled by elephants. I can image the legionairs receiving this coin, smiling, perhaps laughing, because of this symbolism. I read some where that approx 22,5 million coins were made, so that gets me thinking of how humiliating to pompey this must have been... </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not the finest of coins out there of course, but that makes it quite affordable. Though i do think the other, non-portrait types are less expensive. You might want to go for one of those, or, save your money and go for the elephant type. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]911587[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
