L. Julius L. f. Caesar AR Denarius. Rome, 103 BC. Helmeted head of Mars right; CAESAR upwards behind, control-mark above / Venus Genetrix in biga of Cupids left, holding sceptre in right hand and reins in left hand; lyre in lower left field, [L•]IVLI•L•[F] in exergue. Crawford 320/1; RSC Julia 3; Sydenham 583; Savoca Blue Auction 1, lot 959 (same dies). 3.06g, 18mm, 5h.
Very Fine. Old cabinet tone.
Both Crawford and Sydenham insist that the controls on the denarii of L. Julius Caesar are the same on both the obverse and reverse of each pair of dies, however the present coin bears no trace of there having been a control mark on the reverse in the field above the biga, as does the example from the same dies sold by Savoca Numismatik in their Blue Auction 1 (23 September 2017, lot 959).
