Casio. C. Cassius Longinus. Áureo. 43-42 a.C. Asia Menor. (Cal-67). (Babelon Cassia-20). (Sydenham-1311). Anv.: C CASSI IMP. Cabeza laureada de la libertad a derecha. Rev.: M SERVILLIVS LEG. Acrostolium. Au. 7,88 g. Muy rara. EBC. Est...10000,00. Precioso y escaso áureo de Caivs Cassivs Longinvs que conmemora la victoria naval y posterior conquista de la isla de Rodas. Este áureo fue acuñado en alguna ceca itinerante, entre el 43 – 42 a.C.; en reverso vemos un aplustre o acrostolio, ornamento de barco que simbolizaba la victoria naval. Las flores en los extremos del ornamento sugieren a Rodas ya que la rosa fue el símbolo de esa isla durante muchos siglos. En anverso: Cabeza laureada de la libertad a derecha. Recordemos que Casio (Roma, 87 o 86 a. C. - Filipos, 42 a. C.) es considerado, junto con su amigo y cuñado Bruto, como responsable del atentado contra Julio César en los idus de marzo de 44 a.C. Tras la batalla de Farsalia se entregó a César y fue perdonado por el dictador, y nombrado pretor en el año 44 a.C., pero de nuevo le traicionará ya que fue uno de los principales instigadores de su asesinato. Huye a Grecia y tres años después se suicida, tras la derrota de Filipos.
ENGLISH: Casio. C. Cassius Longinus. Aureus. 43-42 BC. Asia Minor. (Cal-67). (Babelon Cassia-20). (Sydenham-1311). Obv.: C CASSI IMP. Laureated head of Libertas right. Rev.: M SERVILLIVS LEG. Acrostolium. Au. 7.88 g. Very rare. EBC. Precious and scarce Aureus of Caivs Cassivs Longinvs that commemorates the naval victory and later conquest of the island of Rhodes. This Aureus was coined in some itinerant mint, between 43 - 42 BC .; on the reverse we see an aplustre or acrostolium, boat ornament that symbolized the naval victory. The flowers at the edge of the ornament suggest Rhodes, because the rose was the symbol of that island for many centuries. On the obverse: Laureated head of Libertas right. Recall that Casio (Rome, 87 or 86 BC - Philippi, 42 BC) is considered, together with his friend and brother-in-law Brutus, responsible for the attack on Julius Caesar in the idus of March in 44 BC. After the battle of Farsalia, he surrendered to Caesar and was pardoned by the dictator, and designated praetor in 44 BC, but later he will betray him again, being one of the main instigators of his murder. He flees to Greece and three years later commits suicide, after the defeat of Philipus. Description
