ANT•AVG - III VIR•R•P•C Galley right, with scepter tied with fillet on prow. Rev. LEG II Aquila between two signa. Babelon (Antonia) 105. Crawford 544/14. RBW 1838. Sydenham 1216. Fresh and attractive. About extremely fine. From a European collection, formed before 2005. Antony's Legio II was not identical with later, more renowned legions of the same name, such as Vespasian's Legio II Italica, Aurelius' Legio II Adiutrix, or the elite corps created by Septimius Severus, Legio II Parthica. Our Legio II was levied in circa 49-48 BC by Julius Caesar, and disbanded by Octavian after Actium, its soldiers being either retired, or dispersed amongst other legions.
