ANCIENT & MEDIEVAL COINS


ANCIENT ROMAN COIN COMMEMORATES BATTLE OF PHILIPPI

Rome, Philippi, Battle of Philippi bronze coin AE19The Battle of Philippi was a major turning point in Ancient Roman history, in which the forces of Mark Antony Octavian (later known as Augustus) defeated forces of Julius Caesar's assassins, Brutus and Cassius, at Philippi in Macedonia in 42BC.  This coin was struck at the Roman colony of Philippi, near the site of the battle. The colony was formed by troops from both sides who settled there after the conflict. The coins picture winged Victory on one side and three Praetorian Standards on the other  The bronze coin is approximately 19mm in diameter.  It is a bit unclear when the coin was struck.  Some attribute it to Augustus, who won the battle and ruled Rome from 29BC to 14AD.  Others feel it was issued by Claudius in 42AD to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the battle and to honor the Praetorian Guards of his time, who helped assure his ascension as Emperor.   Either way it is a fascinating and important ancient Roman commemorative coin.
