From the collection of Roman Imperatorial coins of Martinus J. L. Janssen, ex Bertolami E-Auction 92, 2 October 2020, 1092.


Antony's Legio XVII did not survive the aftermath of the Battle of Actium. Coins recording its cognomen 'Classica' indicate that it was a unit attached to the fleet, perhaps like present-day 'marines'.
