And yes, this coin is rough -- but I love it for what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://jp29.org/0000jco.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://jp29.org/0000jcr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Denarius, Crawford, Roman Republican Coins (RRC), No. 480/8 (March 44 BC)</p><p>Obverse: Julius Caesar triumphal laureate head right</p><p>Inscription clockwise from right: <b>CAESAR DICT PERPETVO</b></p><p>Reverse: Venus standing left holding victory in right hand and scepter with left hand</p><p>Inscription vertical to right: <b>L BVCA</b>(Moneyer)</p><p>Rough surfaces, but lifetime Julius Caesar portrait coins often are not in very good condition</p><p><br /></p><p>Alföldi arranges Crawford 480 series coins in (44 BC) month order -- my depiction:</p><p><br /></p><p>RRC 480/1, Buca - January</p><p>RRC 480/2, DICT QVART - early February</p><p>RRC 480/3/4/5, CAESAR IMP - late February</p><p>RRC 480/6 to 14, DICT PERPETVO - early to mid March</p><p>RRC 480/17/18, CAESAR IMPER - late March</p><p>RRC 480/19/20, PARENS PATRIAE - April</p><p>RRC 480/15/16, MARIDIANVS - April</p><p>RRC 480/21/22, CLEMENTIAE CAESARIS and Mark Antony - April[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
