<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 5803628, member: 86498&quot;]This coin may not be my most favorite Republican denarius but I think it is the best design ever struck for Julius Caesar. Caesar Ar Denarius 47-46 BC Obv Diademed head of Venus right Rv, Aeneas carrying Anchises and palladium. Crawford 458/1 CRI 55 3.85 grms 17 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1243421[/ATTACH]What I like is the care taken in the modeling of the face of Venus. To often during this period the images of women take quite a beating and it is refreshing to see an artist trying to capture the beauty of his subject on this tiny canvas. The image on the reverse is also quite well executed. One gets a feeling for the strength of&nbsp; Aeneas and the frailty of his father. In all a well executed coin from a very trying time[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
