Item Description

Details
Rare Marc Antony, 31 BC This is highly desirable coin for any respectable
collection. It was minted for Legion II as payment of Marc Antony and
Cleopatra's troops

Marcus Antonius 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 Antony 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.
