Crawford 517/2. Starting Bid: $450 This unusual issue was struck by Mark Antony during the con- fused interlude following his defeat by Senatorial forces at Mutina in Northern Italy in April, 43 BC. The short, sharp war was the result of the Senate having fallen under the influence of Cicero and other anti-Caesarian forces, even though one of the consuls, Aulus Hirtius, had been a supporter of Caesar. Caesar’s nephew and heir Octavian masterfully played all angles during this period and ended up benefitting when Hirtius and his con- sular colleague were both killed in the battle, leaving Octavian in effective command of eight Senatorial legions. Defeated but not crushed, Antony and his legions retreated into Cisalpine Gaul and played a waiting game while Octavian returned to Rome and became ensnared in Senatorial politics. Antony greatly strengthened his position by forming an alliance with another Caesarian, Marcus Aemlius Lepidus, governor of Transalpine 35430 Marc Antony and Octavian, as Triumvirs and Imperators Gaul and Spain, giving them control of 17 legions.
