     Julius Caesar. 47-46 BC. AR Denarius (3.64 gm). Mint in Africa.
     Diademed head of Venus right / CAESAR, Aeneas walking left,
     carrying Anchises and palladium. Crawford 458/1; Sear 55;
     Sydenham 1013; BMCRR (East) 31; RSC 12. Fine, circular obverse
     banker's mark by Venus' eye. 712760.

     A presentable example of this type, struck by Caesar at an
     African mint while he was battling against the remnants of the
     Pompeian forces, led by Metellus Pius Scipio. The head of Venus
     advertises the Julian family's lineage, which supposedly
     stretched back to the love goddess's coupling with the Trojan
     hero Aeneas. The reverse is a scene straight out of Greco-Roman
     mythology--Aeneas fleeing the flames of Troy, carrying his aged
     father Anchises on his shoulder, rescuing the sacred Palladium
     (an archaic statue of Minerva), which would find a new home in
     Rome.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.

         Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
