Abstract
After the defeat of Pharsalus, Pompey’s imperator Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio Nasica fled to Africa. There he was reached by Marcus Porcius Cato and together they organized resistance against Caesar. Metellus took the control of the troops, while Cato stayed in Utica and supervised the supply for the army (Plut. Vit. Cat. Min. 58.3).1 Although they apparently had the same goal – defeating Caesar and his troops – they behaved in different ways, showing two strong, rigid personalities, whose features seem to be reflected also by the coin types they chose for their coin issues.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
