Ex Long Valley River Collection (Roma Numismatics Auction XX, 29 October 2020, lot 466; Roma Numismatics, Auction IX (22 March 2015), lot 572. Younger brother of Marc Antony, Lucius Antonius "Pietas" naturally backed his brother's leadership of the Caesarian party and his attempt to seize control of the state, but both ambitions were complicated by the arrival of Caesar's adoptive son Octavian. Relations between the brothers and Octavian cooled markedly after the final defeat of Caesar's assassins in 42 BC. The cold war escalated when Lucius Antony became consul in 41 BC and took a notably hostile stance toward Octavian. He was joined in this propaganda war by Marc Antony's wife, the fiery Fulvia, and the two began rousing Italian cities against Octavian's plan to settle 100,000 of his veterans on land confiscated from Italian citizens. Octavian reacted quickly and recalled his friend Agrippa from Spain at the head of several veteran legions, which besieged Lucius Antony and Fulvia in the town of Perusia. When Lucius and Fulvia surrendered in February, 40 BC, Marc Antony washed his hands of the fiasco and hung his wife and brother out to dry. Octavian spared Lucius and appointed him governor of Spain, whereas Fulvia and her children were exiled to Sicyon. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/roman-republic/ancients-marc-antony-as-triumvir-43-31-bc-with-lucius-antonius-as-consul-and-m-cocceius-nerva-as-proquaestor-p/a/3113-31046.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3113-01082024 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Estimate: 100000-150000 USD |  |
