The Caesarians. Julius Caesar. Late 48-47 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.91 g, 6h). Military mint traveling with Caesar in North Africa. Diademed head of Venus right / Aeneas advancing left, holding palladium and bearing Anchises on his shoulder; CAESAR downward to right. Crawford 458/1; CRI 55; Sydenham 1013; RSC 12; BMCRR East 31; Kestner 3577-9; RBW 1600. Toned, with iridescence, graffito on obverse. Good VF. Well centered reverse.
From the 1930’s Collection of Robert W. Hubel of Michigan.
Julius Caesar traced his descent all the way back to the Trojan hero Aeneas, legendary founder of the Romans. Aeneas, in turn, was the product of a liaison between the goddess Venus and Anchises, a herdsman who was related to the Trojan royal family. In a scene recounted by Virgil in the Aeneid, when the Greeks torched Troy, Aeneas escaped from the burning city carrying the aged Anchises on his shoulder and the sacred Palladium, a cult statue of Pallas Athena rescued from the household shrine. The scene is depicted on the reverse of this denarius of Caesar, struck in 48-47 BC, at least two decades before the Aeneid was composed. Venus, the mother of Aeneas (and thus the divine antecedent of Caesar) appears on the obverse. Description

The wreath on the reverse of this pattern is not the normal laurel or oak wreath, but rather appears to be made of a brugmansia, also known as the ‘angel’s trumpet’ due to its distinct trumpet-shaped flowers. The brugmansia, native to South American, is among the most toxic ornamental plants. Description
