Robert Gurval notes that the shifting status of Caesar's Comet in the coinage follows a definite pattern. Representations of the deified Julius Caesar as a star appeared relatively quickly, occurring within several years of his death. About twenty years passed, however, before the star completed its transformation into a comet.<sup id="cite_ref-gurval_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gurval-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Starting in 44 BC, a money maker named P.

On the back, Venus, the patron goddess of the <a href="/wiki/Julia_(gens)" class="mw-redirect" title="Julia (gens)">Julian family</a>, holds a starred scepter. Gurval maintains that this coin was minted about the time of Caesar's assassination and thus probably would not have originally referred to his deification.
