<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4353215, member: 51347&quot;]Nice capture, [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] !&nbsp; And nice write-up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always enjoy critical thinking and was taught to always view things through several different frames when viewing a problem or situation.&nbsp; Although Julius Caesar had accomplished an incredible amount of things during his lifetime, I find it amazing that he is made a hero in history from 2000 years ago. He was responsible for the massive slaughter and ethnic extermination of the Celts / Gauls and as many Germans he could kill.&nbsp; All for his self-gratification for power.&nbsp; Had these peoples truly represented a true threat to him or Rome, you could understand the wars.&nbsp; Nope. After he is done murdering a people, he was the last nail to be pounded into the coffin of the Roman Republic.&nbsp; Another mass murder.&nbsp; I find the parallels to the&nbsp; Middle-20th Century War astonishing.&nbsp; One history from 2000 years ago is fascinating, the other is abhorrent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>I captured this one because of it was minted during the last 2 weeks prior to Caesar&#039;s assassination.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-10-1_12-33-10-png.1003458/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Roman Imperatorial Era</p><p>Julius Caesar Lifetime</p><p>P Sepullius Macer AR Den</p><p>1st 2 weeks-Mar 44 BCE 4.03g.</p><p>CAESAR – DICT PERPETVO Veiled -</p><p>Venus Victory sceptre star</p><p>Syd 1074a Sear Imperators 107e Cr 480-14</p><p>Rare</p><p><br /></p><p>Andrew Alföldi arranges Crawford 480 series coins in (44 BC) month order as follows:</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><b>RRC 480</b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/tel:480/6/7/8/9/10" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/tel:480/6/7/8/9/10">/6/7/8/9/10</a>/11/12/13<b>/14, DICT PERPETVO - early to mid-March-44 BCE</b></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>
