                                The legionary coinage of Antony was struck for 
                                the use of his fleet and legions when he was 
                                preparing for the battle at Actium. It was 
                                struck baser metal than the ordinary silver 
                                coinage of the period. (This accounts for the 
                                shallow banker's marks so often seen on these 
                                coins.)
