Carisius is an interesting one, as I believe it was issued for distribution for Julius Caesar&#039;s triple Triumph of 46 B.C.&nbsp; There are several types in addition to the OP (Crawford 464).&nbsp; It appears to have been an abundant issue, as well as rather hastily, crudely struck much of the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have two, featuring Victory in a biga and in a quadriga.&nbsp; Not nearly as interesting as the globe or anvil type, I believe these are still part of the same issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]909609[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>RomanRepublic Denarius </b></p><p><b>T.&nbsp; Carisius </b></p><p><b>(46 B.C.) - Rome Mint</b></p><p>Winged bust of Victory right / Victory in biga rt., holding reins and wreath; in exergue, T.
