Lot 1839
Mark Antony, 44-30 BC. Denarius (Silver, 16 mm, 3.38 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) 118. Crawford 544/25. RBW -. Sydenham 1229. Scratches and the reverse struck slightly off center, otherwise, very fine.

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.
