                        The latest portrait coin of Antony, recording his third 
                        consulship of 31 BC, which he apparently assumed in the 
                        east (though it was of course not recognized by his 
                        enemy Octavian) and his fourth imperatorial acclamation, 
                        which he may have received shortly before the battle of 
                        Actium.
