Denarius of Marc Antony, Moving Mint 32-31 BCE

Editor: This is a Denarius of Marc Antony, likely from around the first century BCE. The coin is quite small, but the imagery is so striking. What symbols jump out at you? Curator: Well, the ship immediately evokes travel, conquest, and perhaps escape. Coins are always about projecting power, but what does the ship convey here? Is it about Antony's naval strength, or perhaps a deeper longing for adventure and dominance? Editor: It’s interesting how a single image can carry so much weight. Thanks for your insights! Curator: Indeed. These symbols are powerful, echoing through centuries of human history.
