Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 12:42 pm Nice. This type was issued after the Second Triumvirate (Augustus, Antony and Lipidus - this battle fought by Augustus and Antony, though Antony is the one who actually won it for them) defeated the Liberators (Cassius and Brutus) and finally rid the empire of the assassins of Julius Caesar. Difficult to get cheap in any condition, and I've been on the lookout. Report this Post to the Staff

I've seen plenty of these for cheapo prices. For under $30 on vcoins at this very moment, I found 10 of them. Edited by VisigothKing 01/16/2014 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 1:24 pm In looking I have seen the best ones list at $100.00's-ish. Although minted later than the battle it is commemorative of the August's victory. Report this Post to the Staff
