| Beschrijving voorzijde | In the central field, a pontifical axe (securis) surmounted by a decorated head is depicted upright to the left, accompanied by a culullus (sacrificial ladle) to the right, both rendered in high relief characteristic of late Republican die-cutting. The legend CAESAR to the right and DICT to the left arcs around the symbols, referencing Caesar's dictatorship. The entire design is enclosed within a finely executed border of beads. The bold, uncluttered arrangement of priestly implements reflects Caesar's role as Pontifex Maximus and his unprecedented political authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued during Caesar's second dictatorship, this aureus belongs to a mint traveling with his army — almost certainly struck in the eastern Mediterranean theater as Caesar consolidated power following Pharsalus and his campaign in Egypt and Asia Minor. The legend DICT ITER, abbreviated for *dictator iterum*, marks only his second appointment; within two years he would hold the office perpetually, a designation that contributed directly to the conspiracy of the Ides of March.
The traveling mint attribution means die alignment and flan preparation vary considerably across specimens — not a quality failure, but an expected artifact of field conditions.
