[QUOTE="MarcusAntonius, post: 7688848, member: 119121"]The day after the win, that was exciting yesterday! Can't believe that this coin ended up in collection actually. Was having a humble Imperatorial collection, with recent wins did it became a Great collection. Thought that I didn't have any change to win it (zero) and would end up being completely outbid! Recovering from a major hangover this morning. The counterpart in the collection was won the day before.

[B]Philippi. Marcus Antonius[/B], (Circa 42 BC). Assarion (Bronze, 23 mm, 5.82 g, 12 h), Q. Paquius Rufus, legatus coloniae deducendae, 42. A I C V P Bare head of Mark Antony to right; Rev. [Q P]AQVIVS / [RVF L]EG / [C D] Togate figure seated left, holding tablet; before, urn set on ground. Rare. The colony of Philippi was founded by Mark Antony in 42 BC following the victory of the Caesarians against Brutus and Longinus in the vicinity of the old Greek settlement. This rare issue was struck to commemorate the foundation of the new colony, and the obverse legend A I C V P is to be expanded to Antoni iussu colonia victrix Philippensis.
