Macedon, Philippi CU21. Pseudo-autonomous issue, time of Claudius - Nero, circa AD 48-61. Victory standing left on base, holding wreath and palm; VIC-AVG across fields / COHOR PRAE PHIL, three standards. RPC I 1651; BMC 23; SNG ANS 675-681; SNG Copenhagen 305. 4.03g, 21mm, 11h.
Very Fine.
Purchased from Educational Coin Company, NY, USA.
Fought between Brutus and his Republican allies against Marc Antony and Octavian in 42 BC, the Battle of Philippi was a decisive victory for the Second Triumvirate but did not end the Civil Wars, which continued for a further twelve years. Dated to the reigns of Claudius or Nero due to the fabric of the issue (copper not being used in Macedon before this time), this coin commemorates the battle and the settlement of veterans from the Praetorian Cohort at Philippi.
