<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4918986, member: 51347&quot;]Nice writeup and nice coin, [USER=80147]@Ancient Aussie[/USER] ... cool pics!</p><p><br /></p><p>This man murdered the Roman Republic, then the Senate executed him for that crime. The victors of the civil war were pro-Caesar, and were the architects of the destruction of the Republic, so history writes that he was murdered.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have posted this before in [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] ’s Caesar’s Comet thread. I was amazed at the odd coincidence that this coin, last series struck within 2weeks of his assassination, has a STAR / Comet on the reverse. The 4 months later a comet appears and folks revered that it was from Caesar Divus.</p><p><br /></p><p>I captured this one because of it was minted during the last 2 weeks prior to Caesar&#039;s assassination.&nbsp; <b><i>The symbol below the scepter is a STAR</i></b>. Probably a symbol of Venus, a supposed ancestor of the IULII clan.&nbsp; Cool premonition prior to his death! Couple that up with the Seer&#039;s warning &quot;Beware the EIde of Mar&quot;!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2017-10-7_21-8-57-png.687261/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Roman Imperatorial Era</p><p>Julius Caesar Lifetime</p><p>P Sepullius Macer AR Den</p><p>1st 2 weeks-Mar 44 BCE 4.03g.</p><p>CAESAR – DICT PERPETVO Veiled -</p><p>Venus Victory sceptre star</p><p>Syd 1074a Sear Imperators 107e Cr 480-14</p><p>Rare</p><p><br /></p><p>Andrew Alföldi arranges Crawford 480 series coins in (44 BC) month order as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>RRC 480/1, Buca - January</p><p>RRC 480/2, DICT QVART - early February</p><p>RRC 480/3/4/5, CAESAR IMP - late February</p><p><b>RRC 480</b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/tel:480/6/7/8/9/10" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/tel:480/6/7/8/9/10">/6/7/8/9/10</a>/11/12/13<b>/14, <i>DICT PERPETVO</i> - early to mid March<i> 44 BCE</i></b></p><p>RRC 480/17/18, CAESAR IMPER - late March</p><p>RRC 480/19/20, PARENS PATRIAE - April</p><p>RRC 480/15/16, MARIDIANVS - April</p><p>RRC 480/21/22, CLEMENTIAE CAESARIS and Mark Antony - April[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
