It is also interesting to note that on these denarii struck by a military mint traveling with Antonius - Crawford says Ephesus ([URL]http://davy.potdevin.free.fr/Site/crawford6.html[/URL]) also here ([URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3594663[/URL]), other references seem unsure and either omit it or set a question mark after Ephesus -, AVG in the obverse legend abbreviates Mark Antony’s official position as augur, while Octavian's position is Imperator Pontifex III VIR. My Barbatius Pollio: 18 mm, 3.898 g Crawford 517/2; CRI 243; Sydenham 1181; RSC 8a; Kestner 3793-5; BMCRR East 103; RBW 1798; Babelon (Antonia) 51, (Barbatia) 2; Ob.: M•ANT•IMP•AVG•III•VIR•R•P•C•M•BARBAT•Q•P around bare head of Mark Antony to r.; border of dots Rev.: CAESAR•IMP•PONT•III•VIR•R•P•C• around bare head of Octavian to r.; border of dots [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1482211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1482212[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
