JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (4.08 gms), Rome mint; Q. Voconius Vitulus, moneyer, 40 B.C. NGC Ch VF★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5. Cr-526/2; CRI-329; Syd-1132. Obverse: DIVI IVLI, laureate head right; lituus to left; Reverse: Q VOCONIVS / VITVLVS, calf standing left. Incredibly attractive and vibrant, this charming specimen is wholly deserving of its star designation on account of tremendous eye appeal. These types can often be plagued by off center strikes, poor metal quality, bankers marks and/or graffito, and a weakly struck portrait. On this impressive and wholesome example, however, none of that is the case, as this piece will undoubtedly serve as a centerpiece for any advanced Roman collection.emOne of the most iconic figures from antiquity, Julius Caesar was seemingly larger than life. When his dictatorial tendencies led to his assassination in 44 B.C., a power struggle ensued, with rival faction vying for power. Ultimately, this struggle would result in the Roman Empire, with Caesars grand-nephew (and adopted heir) serving as its first emperor./em
