rOr lHE RECORD.
Mr. EDIToR II came in possession of
small coin or medal the other day, which
think is quite rare. 1t was struck to COM
memorate the conqrests of Julius Caesar over
Egypt and her king, Ptolomy, who lost lis
life at that time. This conquest was achieved
by Julius Caesar in the year 48 before Christ,
and about A years before his death by assassi-
nation. He placed Cleopatra upon the throne
of Egypt, where she remained until the time
of her death, which was caused by applying
an asp to her bosom-by herself,-about 80
years before Christ.
The head of Cleopatra is upon one side of
the medal and upon the reverse side it bears
Julius Caesar, mounted upon his favorite horse,
- Bncephalas."
The value attached to sach coin, in his
torical point of view, may not be dwelt upon
here. The whole life of the great Julius
Caesar was mystery, and this coin which /
have, is remembrancer Of great event in
his life, and is of the utmost interest to all
aumismatologists. D.
