Lot # 463 - JULIUS CAESAR. Denarius (49 BC). Military mint traveling with Caesar. Obv: CAESAR. Elephant advancing right, trampling upon horned serpent.Rev: Emblems of the pontificate: simpulum, aspergillum, securis and apex.Crawford 443/1; CRI 9; RBW 1557.With the beginning of the Civil Wars, this is the first coin issued in open defiance of the Senate, bearing the name of a private individual. There is no agreement on the place of issue, Crawford attributes it to an itinerant mint. According to D. Van Meter (The Hanbook of Roman Imperial Coins) the coin, was minted in 49-48 to finance the invasion of Italy, the allegory would refer to the salvation of the Republic (the snake/dragon), crushed by Metellus Scipio (whose gens had an elephant depicted on their coins). It is generally believed that it is a dragon that is trampled upon; the African elephant would not only allude to the victory against Ariovistus in 58 BC (the dragon was on the banner of the Germans) but also to the name of Caesar, who discovered the existence of a homograph word for elephant in the Mauri' language in Mauretania. Religious emblems here depicted are symbols of priestly offices: the jug and the lituus representing the functions associated with the Pontefices and the Augures. Both ensure the legitimacy of all political action, ensuring the salvation of the Roman state through respect for the divine will. Caesar himself holds most of the religious offices and uses them for propaganda purposes in a new type of coin that emphasises his supreme authority.

Bare head right.Rev: IMP TERTIO III VIR R P C. Armenian tiara right, decorated with three stars; all over crossed bow and arrow.Crawford 539/1; CRI 297; RBW 1828.This Denarius commemorates the victory achieved in Armenia by Publius Canidius Crassus, general and lieutenant of Mark Antony. Crassus served under Lepidus in southern Gaul in 43 BC, then after the War of Perugia became suffect consul in 40. In 37 he was sent with six legions to Armenia, where he demonstrated great military and strategic qualities, defeating the king of Iberia Farnabazus II and then attacking Albania. Crassus then defeated the local king Zober and concluded advantageous alliance agreements. The operation had been ordered by Mark Antony in preparation for the more challenging offensive against the Parthians, occupying a strategic region that would allow him to attack the enemy from the north, avoiding passing through the Mesopotamian desert. Canidius Crassus joined the army of Mark Antony in 36 BC but the Parthian campaign proved a disaster. In 34 BC he also participated in the campaign against the Armenian king Artavasdes II and other operations in the East. During the war against Octavian Canidius Crassus remained loyal to Mark Antony but began to come into conflict with him mainly because of Cleopatra's interference. After the battle of Actium he also fled to Egypt, leaving the legions in the hands of Octavian. Following the suicide of Antony and Cleopatra, Canidius Crassus was captured and put to death.
