[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7081266, member: 118780"]Wow, and I thought this was a friendly place. Nousek, Debra L. "TURNING POINTS IN ROMAN HISTORY: THE CASE OF CAESAR'S ELEPHANT DENARIUS." Phoenix 62, no. 3/4 (2008): 290-307. Accessed March 19, 2021. [URL]http://www.jstor.org/stable/25651734[/URL]. Go to page 293. Last paragraph. She cites a number of ancient and modern sources concerning Caesar's theft, including one source who "explicitly links the seizing of the treasury and the minting of the elephant denarius." The article itself discusses this coin's importance and meaning in Caesar's campaign. I'm not sure which incorrect facts you're referring to, and you are being most uncivil in your replies. This coin [I]was [/I]minted for Caesar's turn against Rome and it [I]was [/I]minted with silver he took from the treasury. Whether this coin [I]actually[/I] crossed the Rubikon I've already stated is a possibility but is neither provable nor certain. What is entirely true is my efforts to obtain it and my joy at receiving it. My desire with this post was to share that joy with everyone here, and encourage others to share their own stories. This thread is meant to be a happy one where we discuss the coins we love.[/QUOTE]
