Watch List notes:

Julius Caesar. Denarius; Julius Caesar; Rome, 44 BC, lifetime issue, before assassination on 15 March, Denarius, 3.79g. Cr-480/17; Syd-1055; Sear, Imperators-101; C-35. Obv: Wreathed head r., CAESAR before, [I]MPER behind. Rx: Venus standing l. resting l. elbow on shield set on globe and holding Victory and transverse scepter, M METTIVS behind, control letter A before. Alföldi, followed by Crawford, dated this issue to immediately after Caesar's assassination on 15 March 44 BC, but Woytek, Arma et Nummi, pp. 421-3, argues persuasively for a dating to the weeks just before Caesar's death..
