worldhistoryfacts:Coin featuring Pompey the Great, ca. 40 BCE. The coin was issued by his son, Sextus, as an act of opposition to Octavian, who at this time (four years after the death of Julius Caesar and eight after Pompey’s death) was a leading member of the second triumvirate. Sextus Pompeius was eventually killed four years after the issuance of this coin after being captured by troops loyal to another one of the triumvirs, Marc Antony. -- source link
