<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7170185, member: 84744"]Great post, and I like the way you turned it into a story! I wrote a post on this coin some time ago looking at the meaning of the reverse, and it prompted some interesting discussion: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/caesars-elephant-and-snake-what-do-they-mean.343865/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/caesars-elephant-and-snake-what-do-they-mean.343865/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/caesars-elephant-and-snake-what-do-they-mean.343865/</a> I also indulged in a little story telling. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I consulted the interesting Nousek article too, among others. I think the only historical issue in your post is this one: if it's true that Caesar took the silver for the elephant denarii from the temple of Saturn, then it can't be true that he brought your coin across the Rubicon with him, because the temple of Saturn incident took place <i>after</i> he crossed the Rubicon.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1274705[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
