Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à trente coins de droit et inférieure à trente-trois coins de revers. Pour ce type, d’après M. Crawford, seulement un exemplaire dans le trésor d’Aquileia était recensé. Ce denier est infiniment plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages de référence. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of less than thirty obverse dies and less than thirty-three reverse dies. For this type, according to Mr. Crawford, only one example in the Aquileia hoard was recorded. This denarius is infinitely rarer than reference works suggest. This is the first time we are offering it for sale.

Historical background
JULIUS CAESAR
(07/13/100-03/15/44 BC)
Julius Caesar, born in 100 BC, belongs to the party of Marius and opposes Sylla at a very young age. He was praetor in 62 BC, before forming with Pompey and Crassus the first triumvirate in 59 BC, the year of his consulship. He then receives a proconsular imperium on Gaul, renewed in 54. He fights Vercingétorix in Gergovie then in Alesia. Besieged, the Gallic leader must surrender. Crassus having been killed at Carrhae, in Mesopotamia, in 53 BC, Caesar got angry with Pompey and marched on Rome in 49 BC. In 48 BC, at Pharsalus, he crushed Pompey who fled to Egypt where he was assassinated. Caesar must then face the sons of Pompey and the Pompeian party. He defeated them at Thapsus (Africa, death of Cato of Utica) in 46 BC and at Munda (Spain, death of Cneius Pompey). Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March (March 15, 44 BC) by Cassius and Brutus. He was deified after his death in 42 BC..
