echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 6:50 pm Very nice. For the benefit of those that are not familiar with the reference. Can you provide more information about the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 6:53 pm Sure! The Caesarians. Julius Caesar. 40 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.79 g, 9h). Rome mint; Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, quaestor designatus. Wreathed head right; S C flanking neck / Signum, aquila, plow, and decempeda (measuring rod); TI • SEMPRONIVS above; GRACCVS in exergue; • Q • DESIG to left. Crawford 525/4a; CRI 327a; Sydenham 1129; RSC 47; Kestner 3636; BMCRR Rome 4319; RBW 1811; CNR 11/5. VF, toned, some porosity, evidence of possible prior mounting. Very rare. I was very surprised during the auction that the other, much more common, poor portrait J.C coin went for significantly more, whereas my very rare, which means less than 50, was ignored and left to little old middle class me.

Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 6:58 pm Tiberius Gracchus , must be a relative of the more famous Gracchi . This is what I love about collecting ancients, you read about this stuff in books and you can literally own a piece of history ! You get some fruit. Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 6:58 pm This JC went for more than mine, butI personally disliked it and ignored it. It is also a far more common JC. However to each his own.... Edited by caesar77 01/06/2015 7:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
