Everyone with a JC coin should post their images. I think we should take two days. So, On Sunday, we will move on to Augustus. Julius Caesar AR Denarius RRC 443/1, struck 49-48 BC OBV: Elephant advancing right. CAESAR REV: Simpulum, sprinkler, axe and priest's hat This is the first coin struck in the name of Julius Caesar. The symbolism on the obverse apparently alludes to the conquest of good over evil, Caesar's victory over the Gauls, while the reverse refers to Caesar's possession of the office of Pontifex Maximus.

Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 9:34 pm Great Idea! Also Gives me some time to save up... I'm going to need to add a few more rulers for my Classical Civilizations Class next year... Great way to get bonus marks! Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 9:41 pm I'll give it a shot. Don't have any Julius Caesar so I'll wait until we get to Augustus. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:17 pm I won't have anything until Marcus Agrippa. Report this Post to the Staff
Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:19 pm I don't have anything until Caracalla if we aren't posting provincials... Geta if we are (It's dated a little earlier, but not by much) Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:25 pm I'm not wishing to be ahead of the game but I'll still post a Caesar portrait fourree with a pretty strong remnant of Caesar facing right looking into a poorly struck face of Octavian/Augustus. The reverse indicates the coin was issued by Agrippa who was intended to be #3 but died before Augustus and messed up the whole game plan. I regret this is a fourree but I'm happy to have this one in any shape. It is rare. The link below claims to be among the best. http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=45045 Mine claims to be the worst. Wildwinds has one that is obviously fourree but was not listed as such and failed to make its reserve according to the listing. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...ml#RSC_0005_[Octavian_Julius] Edited by dougsmit 01/18/2013 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:34 pm I suggest making separate threads for each ruler. That way the threads don't get too long. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:40 pm I think JC would be happy to know his Denari finally made it into the hands of the plebs. JC Carthage mint same as Bings posted in the last smackdown. I think mine has character. This coin has seen better days but when I saw it I had to have it, Obverse, Diademed head of Venus right, Reverse, Aeneas fleeing Troy carrying a Palladium and his elderly father. Coin is 16mm and 3.05g and was minted in Africa c. BC 47. Julius Caesar Denarius Crawford 458/1 Sydenham 1013 Report this Post to the Staff
Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 10:43 pm @Gil I hardly think that this will get to the 900 posts of the JFK Roll Hunting Thread. One should be fine! Report this Post to the Staff
ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 11:22 pm Awesome thread idea! This will last a good while and will be fun. I can't wait to post my first! Report this Post to the Staff

Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 11:34 pm Wow, great idea Steve.... I have my coin show this weekend, takes a lot of time to setup a large coin show, then get all your coins ready as well. I also have a Julius Caesar fourree..this is a new pickup and its first post... Julius Caesar..49 -48 BC.. Ar. Denarius... First coin struck in the name of Julius Caesar... Caesar in exergue, elephant right trampling on serpent/ simpulum, sprinkler, ace and priest's hat.. 17mm x 2.65g. Fourree Ancient Counterfeit.. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 11:41 pm @Windchild Quote: I hardly think that this will get to the 900 posts of the JFK Roll Hunting Thread. The reason why I mention it is because it's easier to reference each ruler instead of them all being in one thread. I saw a few of those roll hunting threads. Yes, they are large but more of a general thread and not too much variety other than JFK half dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 11:49 pm Sounds like a good idea. Won't be long till I am able to post (Augustus). Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 11:54 pm I'd also rather have it all in one thread. Just seems more organized that way and we don't have to keep making new threads. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/19/2013 12:35 am Not a problem. Just a suggestion. Who knows, it might get as large as the JFK roll hunting thread. lol Report this Post to the Staff
