Marc Antony Legionary AR Denarius. Military mint moving with Antony, autumn 32 - spring 31 BC. ANT•AVG III•VIR•R•P•C, praetorian galley to right / Aquila between two signa; LEG II across fields. Crawford 544/14; CRI 349; RSC 27; Sydenham 1216; BMCRR East 190.

The legion possibly represented on this coin was Legio II Augusta, which was founded around 43 BC and swore allegiance to Octavian after the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, and remained in his service through the Battle of Actium. Afterward it was apparently dissolved between 30-14 BC and soon after reformed as the new Legio II Augusta. HID05401242017
