Description: An Exciting Mark Anthony Silver Denarius believed to be part of the denominated "legionary denaril issued in 32-31 BCEin the name of Mark Anthony utilized to pay for his army. Believed to have been struck in the town of Patras, Greece.Marcus Antonius was a Roman politician and famous general under Julius Caesar ( 83BC to 30 BC- by suicide), his close friend.Probably best known for his love affair with Cleopatra VV and for his funeral ovation after Caesar's assassination, He was defeated by future Emperor Augustus during what was to be the last of the civil wars that destroyed the Roman Republic. Ironically written about by Shakespeareand romanticized countless time through the movies, in television, especially shows like " Rome".MOST UNUSUAL- The obverse of the coin shows a gallery, believed to be Anthony's flagship with varying oars 8 to 12 in number. Above the ship ANT AVG is the abbreviation for the name Antonius. with wording below indicating his power sharing arrangement with Octavian andLepidus. The reverse shows the legendary legionary Eagle, the most sacred emblem. In this coin I believe that part of the coin is spelled out LEG PRI representing rather than a simple Roman Numeral I, depicting aFirst Legion coin. Please examine by scope and make your own determination and/or have a coin expert make his evaluation and appraisal.If this is correct then in that event this coin is a rare coin though not priced as such. It is, however, not being sold as such.
