[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2934412, member: 76194"][B]# 11. Et tu a backstabber? A Roman knife party! [/B] There is probably no greater Roman general than Julius Caesar. [ATTACH=full]713179[/ATTACH] He conquered Gaul and defeated Pompey the Great, but his talents as a soldier did not translate well to the political arena, and 27 knife wounds later, Caesar left this world. [ATTACH=full]713180[/ATTACH] So when I had the chance to buy one of his coins, I reached deep into my wallet and jumped at the opportunity. [ATTACH=full]713181[/ATTACH] [B]The Caesarians. [I]Julius Caesar. [/I][/B]January-February 44 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.9 g, 9h). Rome mint. L. Aemilius Buca, moneyer.
