<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1649631, member: 26302&quot;]What is cool about this coin, (Doug Smith pointed this out, so I am not taking the credit), is this coin was the first RR to actually brag about something the moneyer did, and not an ancestor. Also, it supposedly shows the person who did it, riding in the chariot. As such, it paved the way for JC to do the same a decade later, and also to put his portrait on a coin. Many have said the outrage of putting his own face on the coin is what tipped the scales and led to his assasination, so in effect this coin has a direct bearing on the Ides of March.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of coll history in one little piece of silver, both for RR and Nabatean collectors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
