Re: Beware the Ides of March! Post your Julius Caesar coins!
Great looking coin lordmarcovan. :) My Caesar example is not a portrait coin but still contains its share of propoganda. Struck in Africa during the Civil War with Pompey, it repeats his family's claim of divine lineage through Venus via her mortal son Aeneas who escaped the fall of Troy to found Rome.
