Roman Republic, 2nd Triumvirate, Mark Antony and Octavian, 39 B.C., Struck by Octavian
|Marc| |Antony|, |Roman| |Republic,| |2nd| |Triumvirate,| |Mark| |Antony| |and| |Octavian,| |39| |B.C.,| |Struck| |by| |Octavian|, According to Livy, the caduceus, a symbol of peace, was sometimes carried by diplomats sent to negociate a treaty. Antony and Octavian allied to defeat Caesar's assassins, but after defeating Brutus and Cassius, each was determined to obtain absolute power. While Antony was in Egypt, his brother and his wife gathered an army to remove Octavian but they were defeated. Antony and Octavian met with their armies at Brundisium, but the legions, both Caesarian, refused to fight. The two men reached an agreement. This is when this coin was struck by Octavian's mint with Antony's portrait on the obverse. It appeared that peace was finally reigning in the Roman world, but it only was a short calm before another storm.
