JULIUS CAESAR. April-May 44 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 4.02 gm). P. Sepullius Macer, moneyer. Tetrastyle temple / Horseman galloping right; wreath behind. Crawford 480/21; CRI 110; Sydenham 1076; RSC 44. VF, partial flat strike. Very Rare. 

The obverse depicts the temple to Caesar that the Senate decreed be built in gratitude to the mercy he showed them after taking Rome. This coin was likely minted by Antony as propaganda supporting the memory of Caesar as a popular leader shortly after his death.
