<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PMONNEY, post: 2603711, member: 82829&quot;]The first Cato (Porcia gens), M.Cato &quot;the Elder&quot;, for whom&nbsp; denarii and quinarii were struck in Rome,&nbsp; BC 93-91 BC with a female bust and his name on the obverse and a seated Victory on the reverse. The second Cato withdrew to Utica, in Africa, with Scipio&#039;s supporters against Caesar. He had quinarii struck locally, in 47-46 BC, following the same pattern as that of the Elder, the main difference being that the obverse had the title added in the legend :&quot;M.CATO PROPR&quot;. (see picture)The coins of the first Cato are often mistaken or presented as being those of Uticensis (struck in Utica) which are rarer and thus usually more expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
