Marcus Arrius Secundus, denarius, 41 BC Not in hand yet, so this is Kunker’s photo. I was pretty proud of myself as this is coin #100 in my Imperatorial collection and then I read about @akeady’s collection of over 2000 coins! I’m not worthy! This coin is the final piece of an interesting “triumvirate” of Imperatorial coins - note the portrait’s strong resemblance to Octavian. At the same time, two other moneyers, L Servius Rufus and Numonius Vaala, struck coins that bear striking resemblances to Brutus and the late Julius Caesar. These coins have been the subject of much speculation - was it just coincidence or were these moneyers subtly signaling their allegiances during these unsettled times?

Here is a coin I just bought from CNG. This photo is from their website as I have not had a chance to photograph it yet. This appears to be the only Roman coin that features a solely Egyptian deity. Sekhmet is shown holding an ankh. Q Caecilius Metellus Scipio and P Licinius Crassus Junianus, denarius, 47-46 BC.

And here’s mine, the more common vertical version (I didn’t even know there was another type). Obviously I don’t have the patience of @Phil Davis in finding those perfectly centered, full flan examples! Kudos!

I've always enjoyed Aaron's podcasts and I look forward to the new episodes. My collecting range is very narrow, but I appreciate his educational segments about other periods. The auction insights are interesting and he does a good job of not just focusing on the highlight coins. And yes, it's always fun to see the "doofus" purchases (I just hope it's never me).
