The Augusta Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Phew - after that (and well done, Big A - that was a real challenge) here's something a wee bit easier: No clues at first - let's see if someone spots this first off.

M. Porcius Cato Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Annexing Cyprus as per the lex Clodia (and NOT a lex Julia, as Asclepiades wrongly hinted--tsk tsk), Here comes The House of Ptolemy by E. R. Bevan (1927), Chapter XII: In 59 B.C. ... Caesar carried a law, in spite of the opposition of the nobles, by which Ptolemy Auletes was recognized at last as king of Egypt, and, by a new treaty, "ally and friend of the Roman People." Sequitur Interesting. I wonder where Bevan got such a funny idea. See HERE for discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Mr Burns from the Simpsons??? C'mon I'm right aren't I??? Hehe - now you're at it, GPM! Must I lecture you all on your hairstyles. This is a classic coin of late Republic/early Principate due to the lady in question sporting the 'nodus' hairstyle. As a first guess, Ingsoc, I'll go for Octavia, wife of Antony, sister of Augustus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, but you are right about the era in which the coin was minted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
