                                JULIUS CAESAR. April-May 44 BC. AR Denarius 
                                (18mm, 4.02 gm). P. Sepullius Macer, moneyer. 
                                Tetrastyle temple / Horseman galloping right; 
                                wreath behind. Crawford 480/21; CRI 110; 
                                Sydenham 1076; RSC 44. VF, partial flat strike. 
                                Very Rare. 
                                The obverse depicts the temple to Caesar that 
                                the Senate decreed be built in gratitude to the 
                                mercy he showed them after taking Rome. This 
                                coin was likely minted by Antony as propaganda 
                                supporting the memory of Caesar as a popular 
                                leader shortly after his death.
