Lot # 488 - C. Cassius and Lentulus Spinther. AR Denarius, 43-42 BC, mint moving with Brutus and Cassius. Obv. C. CASSI IMP. Tripod with Cortina, decorated with two laurel branches and fillets. Rev. Jug and lituus, below, LENTVLVS SPINT. Cr. 500/1; B. (Cassia) 14; RRSC D279.1. AR. 3.98 g. 19 mm. R. Rare and superb, with enchanting tone. Good EF. C. Cassius Longinus was one of the principal conspirators against Julius Caesar. Following the assassination, he moved to the East, where he sought to amass an army. His prior reputation of military success against the Parthians while governing the province of Syria proved invaluable, and by 43 BC his army boasted nearly twelve legions. He was able to stave off Antony's general Dolabella, secured his base in Syria, and begin preparations for an invasion of Egypt. At the same time, Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus formed the triumvirate, and this posed too great a threat to ignore. Cassius halted his impending invasion of Egypt and moved West to meet up with Brutus' forces at Smyrna. The two regicides agreed to take joint action against the triumvirs, and began by attacking their allies in Asia. The following year the pair moved into Thrace, and chose a position outside Philippi to meet the approaching army of Antony and Octavian. Brutus moved against Octavian with great success, capturing the young Caesarian's camp, but Cassius' army was routed by Antony. Unaware of his partner's success, Cassius thought the entire cause was lost, and had his freedman Pindarus slay him. (CNG 225, 2010, lot 318 note).

Lot # 497 - Cleopatra and Mark Antony. AR Denarius, 34 BC. Alexandria mint. Obv. ANTONI. ARMENIA DEVICTA. Bare head of Mark Antony right; behind, Armenian tiara. Rev. CLEOPATRAE REGINAE REGVM FILIORVM REGVM. Draped and diademed bust of Cleopatra right. Cr. 543/1; RRSC D318. AR. 3.9 g. 18 mm. RR. Banker's mark on obverse. Iridescent hues. VF/Good VF. Until the publication of R. Newman's work, 'A Dialogue of Power in the Coinage of Antony and Octavian' in *AJN 2*, there was general agreement on the date and mint of this coin. Sear (CRI) aligns with Newman, attributing the coin to Alexandria, minted for Antony’s Armenian triumph in the autumn of 34 BC, coinciding with the 'Donations of Alexandria.' Newman argues that the coin must have been minted in 34 BC, during Antony’s triumph in Alexandria, as it would otherwise lack context. He rejects the solid arguments of Grueber and Sydenham, who suggest a different scenario. They propose that the coin was minted in Ephesus in the winter of 33/2 BC by Antony to reward Cleopatra for her substantial contributions to his war efforts. Antony was in Ephesus in 33 BC when Cleopatra arrived with the Egyptian fleet, and both forces stayed there over winter, preparing for their conflict with Octavian. The coin’s inscription could be interpreted as '[coin] of Antony, with Armenia being Conquered, for Cleopatra, Queen of Kings and of her Sons, being Kings.' The Armenian crown behind Antony signifies his victorious Roman army, while the prow beneath Cleopatra, unique to this coin, represents the powerful Egyptian fleet. Together, they symbolize the combined forces arrayed against Octavian.

Lot # 510 - Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). AR Denarius, 17 BC. Coinage of M. Sanquinius. Obv. M SANQVINIVS•III•VIR. Youthful and laureate head of Divus Julius Caesar to right; above, comet star. Rev. AVGVST•DIVI F LVDOS•SAE. Herald of the secular games, in long robe and feathered helmet, standing left, holding winged caduceus in his right hand and round shield decorated with six-pointed star in his left. RIC I (2nd ed.) 340; C. 6. AR. 3.72 g. 20.5 mm. RR. Very rare and fascinating issue. Lightly toned, with underlying luster. Cleaning marks. About EF. A fascinating and historically intriguing issue. The comet immortalized by the magistrate M. Sanquinius on the reverse of this denarius, struck during the Secular Games of 17 BC, is the so called “Comet of Caesar” (Sidus Iulium or Caesaris astrum : numerical designation C/-43k1) widely considered the most famous of antiquity; this comet shone in the skies of Rome following the assassination of Julius Caesar and was interpreted by Romans as a sign of the deification of the dictator. Suetonius (Divus Julius, 88) writes : (Julius Caesar) 'periit sexto et quinquagensimo aetatis anno atque in deorum numerum relatus est, non ore modo decernentium sed et persuasione volgi. Siquidem ludis, quos primos consecratos ei heres Augustus edebat, stella crinita per septem continuos dies fulsit exoriens circa undecimam horam, creditumque est animam esse Caesaris in caelum recepti; et hac de causa simulacro eius in vertice additur stella'. (He died in the fifty-sixth year of his age, and was ranked amongst the Gods, not only by a formal decree, but in the belief of the populace. For during the first games which Augustus, his heir, consecrated to his memory, a comet blazed for seven days, rising always about eleventh hour (five pm o'clock); and it was credited to be the soul of Caesar, now received into heaven: for which reason he is, likewise, represented on his statue with a star on his brow) Many centuries later, Shakespeare may also have made oblique reference to it in the play Julius Caesar. However Shakespeare was mistaken about the time of its appareance or he took artistic license with history, as he had the comet appearing prior to Caesar's murder. In fact, in the second scene of Act II, Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, warns her husband of a portentous event which she interprets as an ill omen for him.
