The Triumvirs. Mark Antony. Autumn 32-spring 31 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.37 g, 12h). Legionary type. Patrae(?) mint. Praetorian galley right; ANT • AVG above, III VIR • R • P • C below / Aquila between two signa, LEG XVIIII across lower field. Crawford 544/34; CRI 379; Sydenham 1241; RSC 54; RBW –. Toned, some scratches on obverse, a few minor delaminations on reverse, edge marks. Near Fine. Extremely rare.
Not to be confused with a similar legion under the command of Octavian, this Antonian legion was either disbanded or incorporated into another legion after Actium. Antonian legionary denarii were hammered out in such great numbers that uniformity in die engraving suffered; hence some engravers chose different ways of depicting the same Roman numeral – XIX and XVIIII are both seen, although the longer form is considerably rarer.
