| Beschrijving voorzijde | Veiled and draped bust of Marcus Antonius facing right, distinguished by an unshaved mourning beard, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style consistent with late Republican coinage. An oenochoe (ritual pouring vessel) is depicted in the right field behind the head, while a lituus (augural staff) appears below the chin, referencing Antony's role as augur. The portrait conveys a solemn, funerary character appropriate to the political context following the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. No obverse legend is present, the identity of the subject being established through the reverse moneyer's inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the chaotic weeks following Caesar's assassination on the Ides of March, 44 BC, this denarius was produced under Mark Antony's authority as consul, with P. Sepullius Macer serving as one of the moneyers appointed in that turbulent transitional moment. Antony effectively controlled the mint in the immediate aftermath of the murder, using coinage as a rapid political instrument before Octavian arrived to contest his position.
RRC 480/22 is among the rarer varieties within the Macer issues of this year. The series as a whole saw production compressed into an extraordinarily short window before the political situation collapsed beyond the point where normal Republican minting procedures held any meaning.
