Watch List notes:

C. Vibius Varus, (42 B.C.), plated silver denarius (fouree) (3.19 g), Rome mint, obv. laureate and bearded head of Hercules to right, dotted border, rev. Minerva standing right, holding spear and Victory, shield set on ground to right, [C. VIBIVS] on right, VARVS on left, (S.497, Sear Imperators 193, Cr.494/37, Syd.1139, B Vibia 23). Obverse struck off centre, some surface damage, otherwise fine/very good and very scarce. Provenance - Ex Dr Adrian Carr Collection and from Caesars Coins in 2005. Sear notes that this is one of the two rare 'types honouring Minerva and Hercules and allude to the forthcoming struggle with the Republican forces led by Brutus and Cassius. The goddess of war, the consort of Jupiter, and the legendary hero are invoked as powerful allies of the Triumvirs in their quest to avenge the murder of Caesar'.
