We get excited in the US by 200 year old coins, but by your standards that must be considered modern. Congrats on a truly amazing find!

Amazing...imagine what that coin has seen
80BC The start of the Sertorian War under Q. Sertorius in Spain, one of the remaining Marian generals.
79BC The city of Nola surrenders during the Italian War and the city is razed to the ground.
75BC Caesar captured by pirates.
69BC Cleopatra, daughter of Ptolemy XII, was born.
68BC L. Licinius Lucullus defeats the combined forces of King Mithridates and King Tigranes near Artaxata.
64BC Nero burns Rome
58BC Emperor Ming-Ti introduces Buddhism to China.
58BC King Ptolemy Auletes of Egypt is driven out of Alexandria
55BC Roman forces under Julius Caesar invade Britain.
50BC In Egypt the "Zodiac of Dendera," a map of the stars of this period, was carved in stone. It is now in the French Louvre.
Congrats on the banner, well-deserved.
