Diademed head of Venus right, wearing necklace / CAESAR, Aeneas advancing left, head facing, palladium left in outstretched right hand, carrying Anchises on his left shoulder. Crawford 458/1. Sydenham 1013. Julia 10. Bold relief on cabinet toning with an aurora of rainbow hues. Ex Roma Numismatics, Auction XXV (23 September 2022), lot 775. In the myth of the founding of Rome, Aeneas was the child of Venus and Anchises. With the fall of Troy, Aeneas, a Trojan warrior, was ordered by the gods to flee with a group of people including his father and son, Iulus. After Aeneas' own "Odyssey" through the Mediterranean, he landed in Italia, and his legacy would become the founding of Rome and his descendants would be Romulus and Remus. With this coins imagery, Julius Caesar refers to the mythical founding of Rome and was used to link Julius Caesar's lineage to Iulus, then Aeneas, and finally to Venus. Caesar also used the obverse of this coin to lay claim to the goddess Venus over his opponent of the time, Pompey the Great. The reverse refers to the moment Aeneas fled Troy, carrying his father to safety with him. This story was later immortalized in Virgil's Aeneid, under the auspices of Augustus, who used this story to link himself by extension of his adoption by Julius Caesar to the founding of Rome. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/roman-republic/ancients-julius-caesar-as-dictator-49-44-bc-ar-denarius-17mm-388-gm-6h-ngc-choice-auand-9733-5-5/a/3115-32210.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3115-05082024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
