<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Codera, post: 25754760, member: 70631&quot;]I just received half of a dupondius in the mail featuring a portrait of Julius Caesar, the other side would&#039;ve been a portrait of Octavian and the reverse would feature a ship. As much as I would love to get a lifetime portrait denarius or even one of his elephant pieces those are both beyond my current budget for coins so this was a surprisingly affordable way to check off the Julius Caesar box on my Twelve Caesars list. It would be cool to get one of the other coins I mentioned one day but for now this scratches the itch for JC representation in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1644824[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Translated from French:</p><p>LUGDUNUM - LYON - JULIUS CAESAR and OCTAVIAN Dupondius c. 36 AC.
