<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 80086, member: 3565&quot;]I just picked up my first Marc Antony legionary denarius.These are notoriously difficult to find in decent condition as they were poorly struck and made of relatively low grade silver.They were minted by legions loyal to Antony in his war with Octavian and were used as pay for the troops just prior to their defeat at the sea battle of Actium on Sept.2,31 BC.Each legion had it&#039;s own number put on their coins and as you can see,this one is legion II.They go up into the XX&#039;s and there are collectors who try to get them all.I&#039;m happy with just one.</p><p>Antony commited suicide afterwards.</p><p>His girlfriend too....snakebite I think <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
