<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 414609, member: 9204&quot;]First off, Julius Caesar (I presume the Julius you&#039;re talking about!) was never an emperor, though he is popularly included with the emperors. He was dictator, but wasn&#039;t the first to hold that position by a long shot. Augustus was the closest thing to a first Emperor Rome had. Second, coins of Julius Caesar needn&#039;t necessarily have his bust on them. At the time, the coinage still reflected Republican traditions, and the imperial theme of the emperor&#039;s portrait wasn&#039;t firmly established until about halfway through the reign of Augustus. The one stainless posted shows Aeneas carrying his father Anchises - if anyone of you are familiar with your Virgil, this reverse should be meaningful to you! That coin looks to be genuine, but suffering from some brittleness and horn silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
