| Beschrijving keerzijde | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) with outstretched wings displayed centrally, flanked on each side by a legionary signum (military standard) consisting of a staff surmounted by a hand and decorated with phalerae (disc ornaments). The three standards rest on a ground line across the lower field, creating a symmetrical and formally composed military scene. The legend LEG•XVIII•LYBICAE curves along the upper periphery, identifying this issue as struck for the Eighteenth Legion, the Libyan. A border of dots frames the entire design. |

Struck in the field to pay Antony's legions during the buildup to Actium, these legionary denarii were produced in enormous numbers across a mobile mint — likely following Antony's forces through Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. The silver content was deliberately debased relative to contemporary Caesarian issues, a fact Roman soldiers would have recognized and resented. Legion XVIII Lybicae takes its cognomen from its service in Libya, one of the fewer geographically-named legions in the series.
The type circulated for decades after Actium, turning up in hoards well into Augustus's reign — ironic given that the victor systematically erased Antony's name from public monuments.
