guy Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Quintus Labienus was an ally of Brutus and Cassius following the assassination of Julius Caesar. After the deaths of Cassius and Brutus, Labienus joined forces with the Parthians. (The horse on the reverse of the coin probably reflects Labienus’ cavalry background.) He was later defeated and killed by Antony’s General Ventidius. This gold aureus of Labienus issued between 40-39 BCE sold for $930,000, almost doubling the pre-auction estimate of $500,000. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/11170/roman-ancient-goldberg/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Labienus Edited January 19, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
