<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8352502, member: 86498"]Denarius of Marc Antony Minted at a mint moving with Antony 41 BC Obv Head of Antony right bare, Rv Head of Octavian right bare. Cr 517/2 CRI 243 3,83 grms 18 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1482136[/ATTACH]Perhaps the most interesting take away of this coin is the contrasting images of the two men depicted. Antony is depicted as a mature individual with strong masculine features. His eye is alert, he has a strong jutting chin, confident smile and a big bull neck complete with Adam's apple. Octavian is depicted almost as the polar opposite with a small receding chin and a thin feminine neck. Octavian almost has a deer caught in the headlights vibe to his image. Though generally seen as a testament to their alliance this series does make a strong implied statement that Antony should be the one leading this alliance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
