Marc Antony, as Imperator and Triumvir (43-30 BC). AR denarius (18mm, 6h). NGC Choice Fine, scuffs. Legionary issue, mint traveling with Antony in Greece (Aegae or Patrae), 32-31 BC. ANT•AVG-III•VIR•R•P•C, war galley under oar right with triple ram prow and scepter tied with fillet / LEG-XXIII, aquila right between two standards. Crawford 544/39. Sydenham 1246. CRI 383.
From the Bacchus Collection
XXIII was the highest number securely known to have been given to a legion within Marc Antony's order of battle. This legion appears to have been disbanded after Actium, since Augustus reorganized and consolidated the Roman army, with Legions XXII Deiotariana and XXII Primigenia afterwards holding the highest numbered legion, until XXX Ulpia Victrix was formed under Trajan in AD 105.
