Caesar at the Turning Point and the Introduction of Roman Gold Coinage

SINCONA’s Auction 101 on 27 October 2025 features an extensive and highly interesting collection comprising
284 lots of ancient coins. These include numerous exquisite aurei, beginning with a small series of three aurei
issued by Caesar in 46 BC. These three aurei provide the perfect opportunity for us to recount the story of Caesar’s
quiet coinage reform of 46 BC: the sheer volume of gold coins minted in his name at that time resulted in a lasting
transformation of the Roman monetary system.
