Details
Rare Marc Anthony Silver Denarus minted in 31 BC for Legion V of Marc
Anthony's Army. Marcus Anthonius was born in 83 B.C. and at the age of 22
was already a cavalry commander. He joined Julius Caesar in Gaul and was
appointed tribune of the people and augur in 49 B.C. and consul in 48 B.C.
In 43 B.C. he formed the Second Triumvirate with Octavian and Lepidus.
After the battle of Philippi he went to Asia, his province, where he met
Cleopatra and was immediately captivated by her beauty. He started to
quarrel with Octavian who defeated him at the battle of Actum. Marc Anthony
fled with Cleopatra and committed suicide at Alexandria in 30 B.C. See more
in David R. Sear.Roman coins and their values. Fourth revised edition,
1988, page 88 where this particular coin is listed under No. 414. This coin
is a bit off center but in Extra Fine condition.
