    Am I too late to show my JC portrait coin? I wanted to wait until the end of this thread, since my coin shows Divus Julius Caesar. This coin was issued in 38 BC by Octavian. While honoring his deceased great-uncle, I'm sure he wanted to remind everyone that he was the adopted son and heir of the god Julius.

    Thanks for that. One of my favourite movies too, and the first one I bought on Blu-ray.
