Lot 2419
Cassius, d. 42 BC. AR Denarius struck c. 42 BC at the mint moving with Brutus and Cassius. Diademed head right of Libertas. Reverse: Jug and lituus. Cr. 500/3; Syd. 1307; RSC 4. Choice Very Fine and attractive.
Cassius was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar. A collection specializing in the sought-after coins of these ambitious, troubled republican loyalists is quite a challenge. Their numismatic issues are underrated in cost when compared to their rarity and historical importance.
Estimated Value $375 - 450.
