Q. Metellus Pius Scipio. Silver Denarius (3.6 g), 47-46 BC. Military mint traveling with Scipio in Africa. Q METEL above, PI[VS] below, laureate head of Jupiter right. Reverse: SCIPIO above, IMP in exergue, elephant advancing right. Crawford 459/1; HCRI 45; Sydenham 1050; Caecilia 47. Rare. Very Fine.

A Pompeian loyalist, Q. Metellus Pius Scipio introduced the legislation that recalled Caesar from his Gallic command, thus precipitating the Civil Wars. This denarius was struck while Scipio was in supreme command of the Pompeian forces in North Africa, the elephant an obvious reference to the province, and was probably struck during the later stages of the campaign in a mobile mint traveling alongside the forces.

Mark Antony. Silver Denarius (3.5 g), 40 BC. Uncertain mint, perhaps Corcyra. Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus, imperator. ANT IMP III VIR R P C, bare head of Mark Antony right; behind, lituus. Reverse: CN DOMIT AHENOBARBVS IMP, prow right; above, star of sixteen rays. Crawford 521/2; HCRI 258; Sydenham 1179; RSC 10. Outstanding portrait and well centered, some dark deposits scattered around. Choice Very Fine.

Originally a Pompeian loyalist, Ahenobarbus allied with Brutus and Cassius after the Ides of March. After Philippi he engaged the fleet of the triumvirs under the command of Domitius Calvinus, inflicting a resounding defeat for which he was hailed imperator by his troops. Subsequently, however, he joined Antony in opposing Octavian, but then after becoming disgusted by Antony's alliance with Cleopatra he switched sides again, deserting to Octavian shortly before Actium. Aside from his involvement in the civil wars that racked Rome in the latter half of the first century BC, Ahenobarbus is also remembered for being the paternal great-grandfather of the future emperor Nero.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.

Cnaeus Pompey Jr. Silver Denarius (4.1 g), 46-45 BC. Corduba. M [POBLICI L]EG PRO PR, helmeted head of Roma right. Reverse: CN MA-GNVS IMP, Hispania standing right, shield on her back, holding two spears and presenting palm to Pompeian soldier standing left on prow, armed with sword. Crawford 469/1c; HCRI 48; Sydenham 1035; RSC 1 (Pompey the Great). A lovely lustrous example well struck on excellent metal. NGC grade AU; Strike: 4/5, Surface: 5/5.

The reverse type represents the support of Further Spain for the Pompeian cause. The female figure, who Crawford does not identify, is obviously Hispania, coming to lend her support (arms) which will lead to ultimate victory (palm-branch) and the restoration of a constitutional Republic.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
