| Lot description: Ancients Divus Julius Caesar (49-44 BC). AR denarius (20mm, 3.91 gm, 3h). NGC VF 3/5 - 4/5. Rome, 42 BC. Laureate head of Divus Julius Caesar right / L•MVSSIDIVS•LONGVS, rudder, cornucopia on globe, winged caduceus, and flamen's cap. Crawford 494/39a. Sydenham 1096a. Mussidia 8 and Julia 58. Ex Degussa Numismatik, private sale with old dealer's tag included. Born into the patrician Julii family in 100 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar emerged from a lineage steeped in Roman nobility and political influence, setting the stage for a life that would profoundly shape the trajectory of Roman history. His early life, marked by a traditional aristocratic upbringing, quickly diverged onto a path of military genius and unparalleled political strategy. Through his conquest of Gaul, characterized by over a dozen major battles including the decisive victory at Alesia, Caesar expanded Rome's borders and demonstrated his tactical superiority. His subsequent crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BC, igniting the Great Roman Civil War, led to his emergence as Rome's unrivaled leader and Dictator for Life by 44 BC. However, fears of his potential kingship among senators culminated in his assassination, a pivotal event that signaled the end of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Empire under his heir, Octavian (Augustus). https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/roman-republic/ancients-divus-julius-caesar-49-44-bc-ar-denarius-20mm-391-gm-3h-ngc-vf-3-5-4-5/a/61395-22344.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61395-08042024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |

| Lot description: Ancients Q. Servilius Caepio (M. Junius) Brutus, as Moneyer (ca. 54 BC). AR denarius (18mm, 4.10 gm, 4h). NGC VF 5/5 - 4/5. Rome. BRVTVS, bare head of L. Junius Brutus right / AHALA, bare head of C. Servilius Ahala right. Crawford 433/2. Sydenham 907. Ex Bacchus Collection (Heritage Auctions, Auction 61175, 25 October 2020), lot 97052. During his term as moneyer in 54 BC, Marcus Junius Brutus issued two denarius types that would prove to be remarkably prophetic in a decade's time. This type celebrates his illustrious ancestors, including Lucius Junius Brutus, the first Consul of Rome, who in 509 BC initiated the conspiracy that overthrew the city's last king, Tarquin the Proud. The reverse honors Gaius Servilius Ahala, who in 439 BC used a dagger concealed in the folds of his toga under his arm to slay Spurius Maelius, a wealthy patrician who had plotted to make himself king. In 44 BC, Brutus himself would undertake a conspiracy to slay another tyrant, Julius Caesar, in which the conspiring senators concealed daggers within their togas. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/roman-republic/ancients-q-servilius-caepio-m-junius-brutus-as-moneyer-ca-54-bc-ar-denarius-18mm-410-gm-4h-ngc-vf-5-5/a/61395-22213.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61395-08042024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
