antwerpen2306 Posted September 3, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have only one republican couples : Lepidus and Octavianus, Cr 495/2d. In fact, it was not a couple, because they were three 😄 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientJoe Posted September 4, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 4, 2022 Here's my Cleopatra/Antony. I haven't had any luck tracking it earlier than NGSA 2008 but won't give up the hunt. Having her full name visible is surprisingly tough to find and was one of my primary requirements: 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stolt Posted September 7, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not part of my collection anymore as I sold off the Mark Antony part of the collection earlier this year, but still worth posting as it is one of the rarest types (with this specimen currently being the RPC online plate coin) and the only one showing Antony and Cleopatra with jugate busts. PHOENICIA, Dora. Mark Antony & Cleopatra. 34-33 BC. Æ (22mm, 7.28 g, 12h). Dated RY 19 (Egyptian) of Cleopatra (34/3 BC). Obverse: Conjoined diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra, and bare head of Antony right. Reverse: Tyche of Dora standing left, holding palm frond and caduceus; L ΘΙ (date) to left; Ω/Δ to right. Reference: RPC I 4752 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
