Julius Caesar, as Dictator (49-44 BC). AR denarius (17mm, 3.96 gm, 4h). NGC Choice XF 4/5 - 5/5. Military mint traveling with Caesar in Greece, Apollonia, July 48 BC. Female head (Venus?) right, wearing pendant earring, necklace, stephane and oak wreath, hair bound in jeweled chignon at back of head; LII behind / CAE-SAR, trophy of Gallic arms and armor, with horned helmet and chainmail shirt; shield, carnyx, and securis left. Crawford 452/2. Sydenham 1009.
Ex Economopoulos Numismatics, private sale with old dealer's tag included; Bob Guynn Collection.
Born into the patrician Julii family in 100 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar emerged from a lineage steeped in Roman nobility and political influence, setting the stage for a life that would profoundly shape the trajectory of Roman history. His early life, marked by a traditional aristocratic upbringing, quickly diverged onto a path of military genius and unparalleled political strategy. Through his conquest of Gaul, characterized by over a dozen major battles including the decisive victory at Alesia, Caesar expanded Rome's borders and demonstrated his tactical superiority. His subsequent crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BC, igniting the Great Roman Civil War, led to his emergence as Rome's unrivaled leader and Dictator for Life by 44 BC. However, fears of his potential kingship among senators culminated in his assassination, a pivotal event that signaled the end of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Empire under his heir, Octavian (Augustus).
