Julius Caesar - Roman Dictator - P.Sepullius Macer, moneyer, Silver Denarius, Rome, 44 BC. Obv: CAESAR - DICT PERPETVO Laureate and veiled head right, Rev. P∑SEPVLLIVS - MACER Venus standing left, holding Victory in outstretched right hand and scepter resting on shield in left - 17,1mm 4,00gr about VF, Reference: Babelon Julia 50 and Sepullia 5. C 38. Sydenham 1074. The coinage of P Sepullius Macer is likely the most common of the four moneyers of 44 BC. Other than his appearance as moneyer he is unknown to history. Macer's coins are notorious for their inconsistent striking which must be the cause of the mint being in a frenetic state prior to the Parthian campaign. The portrait engraving was also completely haphazard with many dies being what can only be charitably described as poorly executed.
