| Beschrijving voorzijde | A Roman war galley (praetorian galley) shown in profile sailing to the right, its oars extended and hull rendered in fine detail. A sceptre tied with a fillet (victory wreath ribbon) is prominently displayed on the prow. The legend is divided, reading ANT·AVG above the vessel and III·VIR·R·P·C below, encircling the type within a border of dots. The overall composition reflects the naval power of Mark Antony during his eastern campaigns in preparation for the confrontation at Actium. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in mobile military mints accompanying Mark Antony's forces as they prepared for the confrontation with Octavian that would end at Actium in 31 BC, this aureus belongs to the most extensively documented military coinage of the late Republic. The legionary series — of which this piece honors Legio XIII — was produced in enormous quantities to pay troops whose loyalty Antony could not take for granted. Legio XIII had a complicated history, having served under Julius Caesar before passing through several commanders in the civil wars.
The gold issues of this series are vastly rarer than the silver denarii struck concurrently, and Calicó's cataloguing remains the primary reference for distinguishing the aureus issues by legion.
