[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are very pleased to offer this extremely desirable genuine 2000+ year old Roman silver Denarius of Julius Caesar for your consideration. This important and historic coin was issued in 48 BC by the military mint travelling with Caesar. It commemorates Caesar's conquest of Celtic Gaul from 58-50 BC which culminated in the capture of Vercingetorix, the celebrated chieftain of the Arverni. It features a large detailed portrait of the goddess Venus, from whom Caesar was believed to have descended. ( Some scholarship identifies the image as Clementia or Pietas, but since Venus predominates much of Caesar's coinage it seems a more likely choice ) It also features a military trophy of Celtic arms celebrating Caesar's military victories in Gaul. Without a doubt, this coin represents a rare surviving testament to one of the most significant figures in the history of the western world. It is also worth noting that this coin is among the few types which actually bear the name of Caesar. In addition, the Roman numeral 52 appears on the obverse noting Caesar's age at the time this coin was minted. This coin survives in choice very fine condition with both sides being well struck and exhibiting a beautiful luster. Portions of the original mint luster can still be seen in the recessed areas. Our photo does not truly capture the luster and details which are so apparent when viewing this coin in person. ( See below for more on Caesar's Gallic War ) [Image] Obverse: Diademed head of Venus ( ? ) wreathed in oak, facing right... LII behind. Reverse: Trophy of Gallic arms, axe on right... CAESAR below. Size: 17 mm Weight: 3.9 grams Reference: Sear 1400 The artistry and mythological subjects of ancient Roman coins have always been a tremendous lure to collectors. In addition, these heirlooms of the ancient world have become extremely popular as showpieces for modern jewelry. Here's your opportunity to add this important 2000+ year old example to your collection. You will not be disappointed with this exceptional and valuable treasure. Caesar's Gallic War: Of all Caesar's military campaigns, the Gallic war plays the single most important part, as evidenced in his literary work which is the only authority for this part of Roman history. Caesar had become proconsul in Gaul in 58 BC at a time when the province was in a state of tranquillity. Fortune, however, seemed determined to provide Caesar with an opportunity to display his military genius when the Helvetti began migrating from their homes in the Alps for new regions to settle in Gaul, serving as an invitation for war. As they were crossing the Arar (now Saone) he attacked and routed them, later defeated them again, and at last drove them back to their own country. Thus began eight successive years of largely successful campaigns that would secure Gaul for Roman control. The next year, 57 BC, Caesar moved north and conquered the Belgae, driving a wedge between the Germans and Central Gaul, then spent much of 56 BC in Armorica (Normandy and Brittany) suppressing rebellious tribes. In perhaps the most daring campaign of the Gallic War, Caesar crossed the Rhine in 55 BC after defeating the German tribes on its western banks, then devastated the lands of the Sugambri before [Image] marching to the coast for a naval invasion of Britain, the first of two. In August of 55 BC, a force of two legions made the Channel crossing to Dover. After being battered to near disaster by tides, storms and hostile Celts, Caesar returned to Gaul just in time to suppress a revolt among the Belgae. Next year, in July of 54 BC, a major force of five legions made a second invasion of Britain, advancing as far as the Thames. Before a permanent camp could be established in Britain, however, Caesar had to return to Gaul and spent all of 53 BC subduing the Belgae and other rebellious tribes in the north including the Nervii, Menapii, and Treveri near the Rhine, as well as the Senones and Carnutes. A massive Gallic rebellion the following year (52 BC) was led by the Arverni warrior chieftain Vercingetorix. After several small sieges and battles, Vercingetorix and the Gauls were besieged by Caesar at the battle of Alesia. Outnumbered by a factor of at least five to one, Caesar's military genius still prevailed. Through 51 and 50 BC, Caesar completed the Roman conquest of Gaul. Death or slavery had carried off most of its principal citizens. Of all the chiefs who had fought for Gallic independence only two survived - Commius and Ambiorix. Banished far from their country they died in obscurity. Vercingetorix was brought to Rome where he was paraded in golden chains during Caesar's triumph and later put to death.
