Historical background

MARC ANTOINE and Pinarius SCARPUS

(31 BC)

Lucius Pinarius Scarpus commanded four legions on behalf of Mark Antony in Cyrenaica (the eighth legion which appears on the reverse of the first type of Scarpus). According to tradition, Scarpus was also a great-nephew of Julius Caesar and was lying on the will of the dictator. He fought in the cesarean at the battle of Philippi in 42 BC camp He then joined the camp of Mark Antony which he remained faithful until 31 BC After the battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC) he switched sides to join the Octave, preventing any resistance from the province of Cyrenaica and making possible invasion of Egypt by the West. It seems that Pinarius Scarpus was confirmed to as Imperator by Octave and then retired into private life.
