     The second Triumvirate, Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus, was
     formed in November of 43. Following a period of the
     proscriptions, which saw the death of many leading figures
     including Cicero, and the battle of Philippi in 42 where the last
     of the Liberators, Brutus and Cassius fell, all hopes of
     returning to the Republican form of government were dashed. The
     Roman empire was divided among the Triumvirate, Antony in the
     East, Octavian in the West and Lepidus in Africa. M. Barbatius
     Pollio was a long time friend of Julius Caesar, and under the
     second Triumvirate, served as quaestor pro praetore to Antony in
     the East. 41 BC was a busy year for Antony, including his first
     meeting with Cleopatra in Tarsus, and it is not known exactly
     where this issue was produced, though Ephesus is sometimes
     suggested. Only three years after the first contemporary portrait
     coins had appeared in Rome, the type had become fully developed,
     with a large central portrait and encircling inscription, upon
     which all later imperial iconography was based.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.
