Julius Caesar Venus And Aeneas
Julius Caesar. 48-46 BC. AR Denarius (3.81 gm).
This denarius was minted by Julius Caesar between 48 and 46 BC in a travelling military mint during the civil wars and is a clear example of political propoganda.
The obverse diademed head of Venus represents the Julian clan's divine lineage. The hero Aeneas was the son of Anchises and Venus. Aeneas
