Cnaeus Pompeius Magnus AR Denarius. Military mint travelling with Pompey, 49 BC. CN PISO PRO Q, Head of Numa Pompilius right wearing diadem inscribed NVMA / Prow of galley right, MAGN above, PRO COS below. Sear 7; BMC 62; Crawford 446/1; Calpurnia 30. 3.89g, 18mm, 7h.
Near Extremely Fine.
Sear observes that Pompey uses his name MAGN on this series along with the title PRO COS to lend a degree of legitimacy to his striking of
coinage. In addition the names of his supporting Proqaestors also feature. This is in stark contrast to Caesar who was using his own cognomen
without that of a subordinate.
