VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 9:46 pm I am now an coin-carrying member of the Julius Caesar club I got it in a trade with a fellow forum member, and while it isn't in the best of shape, I still really like the coin and now am excited to have this rare ruler in my possession. Gaius Julius Caesar needs no introduction (but here's a link anyways:http://www.biography.com/people/jul...the-dictator ) , so I'll just post a map, 'cause people like maps (especially if they're bundled with coins! ) Oh and just to make it clear: Caesar was no emperor! He was Dictator (Dictator was an actual title in the Republic and was not associated with tyranny) and Consul of the Roman Republic in its final years. The Roman Empire was not officially in existence yet but Caesar's actions and those of key others during those years would lead to the establishment of the empire in 27 BC. Gaius Julius Caesar, Roman Republic AR Denarius Obv: Diademed head of Venus, facing right Rev: Aeneas walking left, carrying Anchises and the Palladium, CAESAR in right field Mint: Military mint traveling with Caesar, in North Africa (struck 47-46 BC) Ref: RSC 12, Crawford 458/1, Sydenham 1013 The Roman Republic in 44 BC, just before Caesar's assassination: Edited by VisigothKing 09/28/2014 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 01:11 am They are rarer and so more expensive, even in low grades. This one is fine for my Caesar slot. Report this Post to the Staff
