Summary: the discovery of a fifth copy of the rare aureus of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (cos. I 70 BC) caused us to take up again this coining, with a clear triumphant nature, celebrated respectively in 81, 71 and 61 BC. In fact, this aureus seems to be in relation with the eastern campaigns of Pompeius, and its iconography shows his wishes of a triumph celebration as well as his imitatio Alexandri.
