The letters LII behind the female head have long been recognized as representing Caesar's age, thereby placing this issue firmly within the year 48 BC. Caesar's fifty-second birthday was on 13 July 48 BC; the battle at Pharsalus, the final major conflict between the Caesarian and Pompeian forces, occurred one month later. Description
