Lot 3143 - roman imperatorial period roman imperatorial period (ancient - 49-27 bc) - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #84 Brutus. Silver Denarius (3.9 g), 42 BC. Military mint traveling with Brutus and Cassius in western Asia Minor or northern Greece. P. Servilius Casca Longus, moneyer. CASCA behind, LONGVS before, Laureate and bearded head of Neptune right; trident below. Reverse: BRVTVS behind, IMP before, Victory advancing right, breaking diadem tied with fillet and holding palm; below, broken scepter. Crawford 507/2; HCRI 212; Sydenham 1298; RSC 3. Needle sharp. Superb Extremely Fine. The reverse design is a political statement appropriate for the enemies of Julius Caesar. The figure of Victory trampling upon a broken scepter and tearing a diadem powerfully evokes a long tradition of Roman animosity for monarchical rule. It was widely believed that Caesar aspired to become king, and many of his actions indeed seemed to justify this notion. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.

Lot 3427 - roman imperatorial period - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 Julius Caesar. Silver Denarius (3.79 g), 49-48 BC. Military mint traveling with Caesar. CAESAR in exergue, elephant advancing right, trampling horned serpent. Reverse Pontifical implements: simpulum, sprinkler, axe and priest's hat. Crawford 443/1; HCRI 9; Sydenham 1006; RSC 49. NGC grade Choice Extremely Fine; Strike: 5/5, Surface: 5/5. Perhaps the most ubiquitous of Caesar's denarii, this famous issue was struck at the time of his crossing of the Rubicon and the beginning of the long period of civil wars which resulted in the downfall of the Roman Republic. A few theories have been presented explaining the obverse type, the most established being that the elephant represents good, the serpent evil, thus a message of the righteousness of Caesar's cause. The reverse shows the symbols of Rome's high priest, the Pontifex Maximus, Caesar having been elected to the office in 63 BC. Estimated Value $500 - 600.

Although struck partially off - centered, the portrait is complete and quite expressive. Nicely toned. Very Fine. The coins of Q. Voconius Vitulus and his colleague, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, in 40 BC present us with the last moneyer issues of the Capitoline mint at Rome with the exception of a small group produced more than two decades later during Augustus' principate.
