Praetorian galley right on obverse; aquila between two signa on reverse

Antony's legionary denarii were struck in vast quantities to pay the fleet and army he had assembled for the coming war against Octavian, and the galley refers to that naval force massing in Greece on the eve of Actium.

Legio XVIII was one of the more than two dozen legions honored on this coinage series, its identity preserved on the coin even though the unit itself does not appear in the later imperial army lists and was likely broken up after Antony's defeat.

Reverse legend: LEG XVIII, for *Legio Duodevicesima*, "the Eighteenth Legion."
