Comment: The author of this denarius was one of the conspirators and murderers of Julius Caesar. He belonged to the Gens Junia and was adopted by Albinus. When he was in the service of Caesar, by whom he was showered with honors, it was at the time that he minted this denarius with the theme of Concord so dear to Caesar. He was murdered and his head was sent to Marco Antonio
