history-A fascinating and important coin type, the "elephant denarii" were the first coins minted by the great Julius Caesar. His crossing of the Rubicon and invasion of Italy needed financing and, despite it being unconstitutional to produce coinage without senate approval, he nevertheless began to mint his famous currency. The coins show his own cognomen as the issuing authority on the obverse while the imagery symbolises good triumphing over evil.
