Commentary


Poids très lourd. Portrait fantastique ! Pour ce type, les auteurs du RPC ont recensé 20 exemplaires. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente ! Variété inédite avec un “S” dans le champ à droite au revers alors que normalement, nous devons trouver un “I” dans le champ à gauche.
Very heavyweight. Fantastic portrait! For this type, the authors of the RPC have recorded 20 examples. This is the first time we are offering it for sale! Unpublished variety with an “S” in the right field on the reverse whereas normally, we should find an “I” in the left field

Historical background


POMPEY THE YOUNGER

(79-45 BC)

Pompey the Younger (79-45 BC) was Pompey's eldest son. After the assassination of his father, he seized the Balearic Islands and established himself in Spain where the remnants of the troops beaten at Thapsus in 46 BC joined him. Caesar decided to confront Pompey the Younger. The battle takes place at Munda on March 17, 45 BC. Pompey the Younger is defeated, captured and executed, while his younger brother, Sextus, manages to escape.
