Quinarius of Cato the Younger

Minted quickly by Cato to pay his soldiers as they battled Caesar’s forces in modern-day Tunisia, this small coin depicts the goddess Victory and the god Liber, powerful symbols of Roman hope and liberty. Despite this appeal to the gods, Cato and his forces could not best Caesar. In the aftermath, as Caesar’s solitary control of Rome became inevitable, Cato chose to die by suicide rather than live under a tyrant.
