| Lot description: Cn. Nerius, 49 BC. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.51 g, 3 h), with L. Lentulus and Claudius Marcellus, Rome. (NE)RI•Q•(VR)B Head of Saturn to right, with harpa behind. Rev. [L•LE(NT)] - C•(MA)RC - [C]O-S Aquila between two signa inscribed H(astati) and P(rincipes). Babelon (Neria) 1. Crawford 441/1. RBW -. Sydenham 937. Nicely toned. Scratches and a flan crack, otherwise, good fine. From an old Swiss collection, formed in the 19th century. This coin appears to have been struck shortly after Caesar began his advance on Rome after crossing the River Rubicon. The names of both consuls appear on the reverse, an interesting occurrence considering it was their actions that provided Caesar the justification he needed to march on the city. Starting price: 25 CHF |  |
