about The Roman Republic  

These coins were minted by the ROMAN REPUBLIC (before the EMPIRE) during the 2nd-1st Century BC. This period is as active as the "Imperial Period" with regards to Rome's growth in size, power, and prestige.  During the late period of the Roman Republic the issuance of coinage was administered by annually elected magistrates (“Moneyers”). The moneyers were swept up into the revolutionary tide created by the warlords as the Republic grew in strength. The moneyers were powerful in that coinage was a communications medium.  Internal conflicts raged between Roman generals and they used moneyers to help promote their causes, their family names, their great victories. This is the era of Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Brutus, and Pompey to Great. Following an intense civil war, Julius Caesar prevailed over the forces of Pompey and became dictator. Of course Brutus later murdered Caesar and began a war with Marc Anthony, Pompey, and Octavian. Octavian prevailed and the Roman Empire was founded.

Historical Context:  This GOLD STATER is believed minted by BRUTUS, The Famous Assassin of JULIUS CAESAR!! - Ref. Harlen Berk. After the assassination of Caesar, Brutus retreated to Macedonia and Thrace. He hired mercenary troops to support his rebellion. The mercenary troops, being uneducated, needed to be paid in local "style" currency. Therefore, Brutus minted these for the pay for these troops. Some believe these may have been minted by Mithradates VI of Pontus, but the hoard evidence supports the theory that Brutus minted these.

Founded by Julius Caesar and Crossed the Rubicon

Historical Context:  This coin was minted by MARC ANTONY for LEGION No. XXV. He was the famous lover of Cleopatra VII and famous General. He formed an alliance with Octavian (Augustus) and Pompey the Great defeating the forces of Brutus (assassin of Julius Caesar). However, later he rose against Rome in an alliance with Cleopatra of Egypt. He and Cleopatra’s army were defeated in the Battle of Actium leading to their suicides. Marc Antony and Cleopatra were succeeded by a daughter, Cleopatra Selene. 

When this denarius was first minted, it was a day's wages for a Roman soldier. 

Legion V was founded in transalpine Gaul in 52 BCE by Julius Caesar. It was the first legion to be recruited in the provinces, and Caesar paid the soldiers from his private purse. After playing key roles in Caesar's conquest of Gaul , the Fifth Alauda was also with Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon in 49BC. It then went on to fight the Republicans in the African campaign (46BC).

After Caesar's assassination in 44BC, the Fifth Alauda sided with Antonius, and participated in Antonius' ill-fated war against the Parthians. From there, the Fifth Alauda fought against Marcus Agrippa at the battle of Actium, and after Antonius' defeat, Octavian assumed control of the legion and transferred it to Merida .

Attribution:  L. C. Scipio Asiagenius (AKA Scipio Asiaticus)

Historical note:  Scipio the Elder (Scipio Africanus) wasknown as a Graecophile lifestyle, and his unconventional way of wearing the Roman toga, raised much opposition among the conservatives of Rome, led by Cato the Elder who felt that Greek influence was destroying old Roman culture and making the Roman men effeminate. Cato, as a loyalist of Fabius Maximus, had been sent out as quaestor to Scipio in Sicily circa 204 BC to investigate charges of military indiscipline, corruption, and other offense against Scipio; none of those charges were found true by the tribunes of the plebs accompanying Cato. (It may or may not be significant that years later, as censor, Cato degraded Scipio's brother Scipio Asiaticus (Asiagenius) from the Senate. It is certainly true that some Romans of the day viewed Cato as a representative of the old Romans, and Scipio and his like as Graecophiles.
