[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2105482, member: 56859"]That is one [B]fantastic[/B] set, AJ! Zumbly, your JC can hold its own against any coins. That was a great pickup and I'm glad it finally made it to your home. (For those who missed it, [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/julius-caesar-dictator-in-perpetuity-for-about-a-month.258838/']here's [/URL]the brief story of its 20,000 mile journey). Alas, I have no Julius Caesar portrait coin, no coins of Brutus, no Cassius. :( Here's an ancestor of JC though :) [ATTACH=full]396804[/ATTACH] [B]Roman Republic, L. Julius L. f. Caesar 103 BC[/B] AR denarius, 17mm, 3.9 gm Obv: Helmeted head of Mars left; CAESAR; ・J above Rev: Venus Genetrix in chariot left, drawn by two Cupids; lyre to left; ・J above Ref: Crawford 320/1.
