Notes:     Sale: CNG 75, Lot: 949 Rare. Lucius Cornelius Balbus was from Gades, modern Cadiz, in Spain. Following the assassination of Julius Caesar, he supported Octavian and as a result was rewarded with the consulship in 40 BC, the first foreign-born citizen to hold this position. The club of Hercules on the reverse makes reference to Gades, his birthplace.
