Post your Gaius Julius Caesar coins !

Please post them, I would love to see actual examples people own and not just "for sale" pages on the internet..
Were they as expensive back in the day as they are today ?

Also if you want post your Cleopatra VII coins... Just got done watching "Cleopatra" 1963. Now obsessively searching for these coins.

Sorry I do not yet have one myself to share, but eventually

All Julius Caesar coins. Plus I have one more I have to re-shoot. No Cleopatra coins. These coins have always been on the expensive side due to JC's notoriety.

This is going to be one fascinating thread! Tif, I really adore your Cleopatra VII!!

Awesome coins guys and gals.

 

Sorry, but I just had to try to re-shoot my JC from Carthage. It is a beautiful coin with old cabinet toning which seems to make it hard to image.

 

My current JC denarius, although upcoming auctions may result in an upgrade



And, just to instill some fear into everyone's Caesar coins:

 

@AncientJoe : looking at your JC coin, and before I read, I was just thinking "hmm, that one needs an upgrade !" Just kidding of course, as usual a fantastic coin and I will not even mention "the murderer"

Q

 

Yeah, is it the Ides of March again, already? If it isn't, why did AJ kill everyone's Julius Caesar coins with his Brutus coin?
