Marc Antony AR Denarius. Struck under Octavian, southern or central Italian mint, late 40-early 39 BC. Bare head right; ANTONIVS upwards to left, IMP downwards to right / Winged caduceus; [CAESAR] IMP around below. Crawford 529/3; CRI 303; RSC 5. 3.92g, 20mm, 11h.
Good Very Fine; flan flaw to obv., lightly toned.
From a private European Collection.
This remarkable type forms part of the issue struck by Octavian to mark the reconciliation between himself and Marc Antony, an event which took place at Brundisium late in 40 BC. In contrast to his triumviral colleague however, Octavian gave the prominence of the obverse to Antony with the type bearing his portrait alone; on Antony's coinage of the same period, Octavian is only noted in a subsidiary capacity.
