A magnificent portrait struck on a full flan, iridescent tone and extremely fine 8’000Privately purchased from Kurt Spanier in December 1990.Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (‘bronze beard’) was well acquainted with the risks and rewards that faced noblemen intimes of civil war, for his father Lucius had opposed the First Triumvirate and paid for it with his life at the Battle ofPharsalus in 48 B.C.Ahenobarbus was present at Pharsalus, but unlike his father he survived and was pardoned by Julius Caesar. The selfservingpurpose of Caesar’s mercy did not fool him, and after Caesar was struck down on the Ides of March, he fled toMacedon with Brutus. When he was named in Octavian’s proscriptions of 43 B.C. Ahenobarbus had little option but tocast his lot with the cause of Brutus and Cassius.Ahenobarbus patrolled the Adriatic for the Republicans, and together with Murcus, the naval commander of Cassius, hedefeated the Caesarean Calvinus in a sea battle. For this critical victory, which prevented additional supplies and men fromreaching the main forces of Antony and Octavian in Illyria, Ahenobarbus was hailed Imperator. Since this coin bears theinscription IMP we must date it to soon after that event at the earliest.After Brutus and Cassius were defeated at Philippi in October, 42 B.C., Ahenobarbus patrolled the seas until 40 B.C.,when the political tide shifted yet again, and he allied himself with Marc Antony just when war between Antony andOctavian seemed imminent. The Treaty of Brundisium restored peace, Ahenobarbus was made governor of Bithynia andthen witnessed Antony’s disastrous campaign against the Parthians in 36 B.C., and in the following year helped capturethe renegade Sextus Pompey.Having thus far survived the civil war, Ahenobarbus was returned to Rome to assume the consulship in 32 B.C. However,the inevitable showdown between Antony and Octavian began when Octavian marched on Rome and forced the consulsAhenobarbus and Sosius to flee to the East along with some 300 senators who opposed Octavian. By this stage of his lifeAhenobarbus’ health was suffering and he was not enthusiastic about throwing his lot in with Cleopatra, so he defected toOctavian just before the battle of Actium took place on September 2, 31 B.C. He did not long survive, dying of naturalcauses late in 31, or early in 30 B.C.127
