Lot 175
Mark Antony, 44-30 BC. Denarius (Silver, 17 mm, 3.84 g, 6 h), military mint moving with Mark Antony (Patrae?), 32-31. ANT•AVG - III VIR•R•P•C Galley right, with scepter tied with fillet on prow. Rev. LEG - IX Aquila between two signa. Babelon (Antonia) 116. Crawford 544/23. CRI 359. RBW -. Sydenham 1227. The reverse struck slightly off center, otherwise, virtually as struck.

From a European collection, formed before 2005.

An obscure unit, Antony's Legio IX was not identical with the famed Legio IX Hispana. The latter was an older unit, which we can trace back to the Social War (91-87 BC), and which would fight on Octavian's side at Actium. In Antony's legionary series, his ninth is alternately rendered as VIIII and IX.
