Comments: The obverse of this denarius recalls the first coins of the Republic with the helmeted head of Roma. The reverse of this denarius features imagery that reflects the political and social context of the time, including references to Caesar's achievements. The symbolism exalts Rome's domination on land and sea and also recalls Caesar's quadruple triumph over his enemies. The scepter represents the land power of the armies, the rudder the maritime power of the fleet. The cornucopia placed on the globe symbolizes happiness and universal prosperity. The quadruple triumph is further represented by the symbols of power being encircled by the laurel wreath~the laurel wreath symbolized victory and honor, awarded to victors/military commanders like Julius Caesar. It represented achievement and was associated with divine favor and status. History: The mint college of 46 BC included three monyers: Manius Cordus Rufus, Titus Carisius, and Caius Considius Petus.
