An exceptional issue: It is the first Roman coin struck from Orichalcum (brass). Probably this type was struck after the victory over the sons of Pompeius at Munda 17.March AD 45 to serve as donation at his triumph in Rome. The depiction is unusual and is a symbol of Caesar's military abilities. Brass was used probably to make the look of the coin more valuable.

Sydenham 729; Julia 6; Type as RBW 1348
(18.5mm, 4.04 g, 10h)
From the Andrew McCabe Collection.
I have noted some of my other coins whose types bear a variation on the indication of "from the Public Silver", usually interpreted to mean an issue that required a supplementary grant of authority from the Senate outside the normal annual authorization, as all of the coining metal was "public", including the precious metals from time to time appropriated from the temples of the state religion.
Since this coin is ex McCabe, I will quote his notes on the relative rarity of this type directly:
"The British Museum collection has 115 examples of RRC 352/1a or 352/1c with moneyers name L. IVLI BVRSIO, but just 4 examples with EX A. P. Crawford in RRC, p. 605, says that this issue was struck from money left to the Roman people by Ptolemy Alexander I of Egypt, which probably arrived at Rome in 86 BC. Given the rarity of the EX A. P. issue, perhaps the bequest was modest! "
As with the other 3 coins posted in this group, the coin is much better in hand, although the photos of the silver coins are clearer than the bronze.

This type is closely realted to No. 8.10.14.4. The reverse of No. 8.10.14.4 has been described as Herakles, reclining on lion's skin, his club before. But on this coin it is clear a torch before him. And with the head in his hand he reminds of the Eros coins with turned torch. So it belongs to the type of Eros playing Herakles!

Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, 17. Julia Domna, HrHJ (2018) 8.17.15.01 (plate coin)Julia Domna, died AD 217
AE 26, 10.90g, 26.48mm, 195°
struck under governor Aurelius Gallus
obv. IOVLIA DO - MNA CEBA
Bust, draped, r.; hair in seven horizontal waves and broad plate behind
rev. VPA AVR GALLOV - NIKOPOLITWN / PROC IC (OV ligate)
Aphrodite in attitude of the Capitoline Venus stg. facing: left beside her Eros, winged,
nude, stg. facing, head r., holding in lowered l. hand wreath and in r. hand torch
downwards
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1455, pl. XV, 33 (1 ex., St.Petersburg)
b) Varbanov (engl.) 2900 (R7, one of the rarest Domna coins of Nikopolis! Varbanov cites AMNG 1455 but calls the attributes of Eros
bow and patera.)
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) No. 8.17.15.1 (plate coin)
rare (R6), about VF, nice green patina
Pick: The A on the rev. always looks like a Lambda. So it could well read VP L AVR. Doubtlessly this depiction of Aphrodite shows the pic of a statue. Probably copies of these statue were located in Nikopolis too.
