| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate head of Julius Caesar facing right, rendered in fine relief with strong portraiture characteristic of late Republican coinage. The obverse is anepigraphic, bearing no legend, with the identity of the subject conveyed solely through the portrait. A border of dots frames the design. The treatment of the laurel wreath and facial features reflects the propagandistic portrait style adopted by Caesar in his final years. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 43 BC, the year Caesar's assassins were consolidating opposition and Octavian was maneuvering for legitimacy, this denarius was struck by L. Flaminius Chilo as one of the quattuorviri monetales — the board of four moneyers responsible for Rome's silver coinage. The office continued functioning even as the Republic was effectively dissolving around it.
Caesar had been dead less than a year when this coin was struck. It is among the earliest posthumous coinages honoring him, issued before the Second Triumvirate formally deified him in 42 BC — a distinction that makes the religious and political framing of this type historically precise.
