| Additional information |
This denarius belongs to the remarkable period of the Second Triumvirate, struck in the immediate aftermath of the Treaty of Brundisium in October 40 BC — the agreement that divided the Roman world between Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus, and was sealed by Antony's marriage to Octavian's sister Octavia. The joint issue formalized a fragile peace that both men knew was temporary.
RRC 529/2 is attributed to a mint traveling with one of the triumvirs, almost certainly in the East with Antony or moving between Italy and the Greek-speaking provinces. Within a decade, the two men depicted here would be at war.
