BCE Description An account of the resource Obverse: Bearded head of Octavian right; around, IMP CAESAR DIVI F III VIR ITER RPC. Border of dots. Reverse: Tetrastyle temple; within, veiled statue of Julius Caesar holding lituus in right hand; in pediment, star; [on architrave, DIVO IVL]; to left, lighted altar; around, COS ITER ET TER DESIG. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic This coin of Octavian commemorates the final defeat of the family of Pompey and his followers after the defeat of Sextus Pompey. The assassination of Julius Caesar was finally avenged. To commemorate the event, Octavian commissioned the coin type on the reverse depicting the beginning of the construction of the Temple of Divine Julius in Rome, which was completed in 29 BCE. The star on the pediment was the sidum Iulium, the sign of the divinity of Julius Caesar. The inscription on the reverse is consul iterum et tertio designatus, "consul for the second time and designated for the third time." On the obverse is Octavian's portrait. The inscription reads "son of the divine imperator Caesar" and triumvir republicae constituendae, "triumvir for the second time [with Macus Antonius and Lepidus] for establishing the Republic." Here Octavian depicts himself as the descendant and vindicator of Julius Caesar as well as joint ruler of Rome. The coin is attributed to Statilius Taurus, the legate of Octaian in Africa, who may have issued the coins to pay the legions encamped in Sicily. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Reverse: Shrine to Venus Cloacina, ornamented with a trellis-pattern balustrade; on it are two statues of Venus Cloacina, the one on the left holding flower in left hand; on the platform to right, low column surmounted by an ornament; to left of platform, flight of steps and portico inscribed CLOACIN; above, L MVSSIDIVS LONGVS. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic The star on the obverse symbolizes the belief in the immanence of a new age, perhaps reinforcing the image of Concordia, the personification of harmony and peace. The reverse depicts a shrine to Venus "the cleanser," continuing the idea of a new age cleansed by Venus herself. In 42 BCE, the assassins of Julius Caesar had been defeated at the battle of Philippi, and the Republic was under the rule of Octavian, Marcus Antonius, and Lepidus. Perhaps Mussisius is commemorating the establishment of a new age of peace with this coin. The use of Venus would coincide with the use of Venus by both Julius Caesar and Octavian to commemorate their victories. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

On the obverse is Venus Genetrix, his patron deity from whom he claimed descent and to whom he attributed his greatness and success. The reverse celebrates Caesar's triumphs. The trophy in the center follows the common practice of placing the vanquished foe's armor on a tall pole (see coin C035). The bearded captive resting beside the trophy could be Vercingeterix, the king who united the Gauls against Caesar, while the female could be Hispania. The arms next to the trophy are Gaulic and Spanish. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Border of dots. Reverse: Pontifical instruments, culullus, aspergillum, securis, and apex. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic This coin of Julius Caesar was issued after his victories over Ariovistus and the Germans. It is an example of the revival of minting military coins outside of Italy to pay for campaigns and soldiers. The elephant on the obverse is a reference to Caesar's name. In the language of the Mauri, his name is the same as the word for elephant. The dragon trampled by the elephant could also be the carnyx or Gallic war-trumpet. The augural symbols on the reverse allude to the office of pontifex manximus held by Julius Caesar from 63 BCE: the culullus was a drinking vessel; the aspergillum was a vessel for sprinkling water; the apex was the cap worn by the Roman flamen or priest; and the securis was the ax used in sacrifices. -- Bradford W.

Border of dots. Reverse: Togate man facing left, dropping tablet marked V into cista; on right, LONGIN III V downwards. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic Lucius Cassius Longinus was proconsul in 48 BCE and tribune to the plebeians in 44. He was the younger brother of Cassius, one of the assassins of Julius Caesar. The scene on the reverse depicts a single unidentified man voting. The scene commemorates the passing of the Lex Cassia tabellaria proposed in 137 BCE, which allowed the comitium to vote by using the ballot (see coins C016 and C038). The image of Vesta on the obverse also connects the coin type to the events of 113 BCE, when L. Cassius Longinus Ravilla presided over the trial of three Vestal Virgins (see coin C038). The "V" on the tabella means "VTI ROGAS" or a favorable vote for the legislation. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Border of dots. Reverse: The consul Lucius Junius Brutus walking left between two lictors carrying fasces and preceded by an accensus; in exergue, BRVTVS. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic Quintus Caepio Brutus (Marcus Junius Brutus) was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE. With this coin he commemorates the success of his ancestor Lucius Junius Brutus, who was responsible for the expulsion of the Etruscan kings from Rome, helping to found the Roman Republic, and who served as one of the first consuls in 509 BCE. The obverse depicts Libertas, the personification of Liberty, who granted liberty to the Romans after the expulsion of the kings. The reverse depicts a procession of Junius as consul. According to Greuber, the coin also played an important propagandistic role by demonstrating Brutus' consistent opposition to Pompey's intentions of seeking to become the sole ruler at the time. -- Bradford W.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucius Scribonius Libo Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 55 - 54 BCE Description An account of the resource Obverse: Diademed head of Bonus Eventus right; behind, LIBO downwards; before, BON EVENT downwards. Border of dots. Reverse: Puteal Scribonianum, decorated with garland and two lyres; at base, hammer; above, PVTEAL; below, SCRIBON. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic Lucius Scribonius Eventus was consul in 34 BCE and father-in-law to Sextus Pompey. He defected from the army of Sextus Pompey to join Octavian. The depiction of Bonus Eventus on the obverse has several possible meanings. Bonus Eventu was the god of good fortune who favored agriculture and was invoked before a major journey or undertaking or to provide for a bountiful harvest. He had a temple in the Campus Martius and was very popular. His depiction could represent the successful prosecution of Catiline by Cicero. It could also allude to Beneventum, the home town of the Scribonius family. The reverse depicts the Puteal Scribonianum, a stone enclosure placed at the mouth of a well in the Forum Romanum. It was struck by lightning and repaired and rededicated by Scribonius Libo. The symbols on the reverse are those of Vulcan. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Quintus Cassius Longinus Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 57 - 55 BCE Description An account of the resource Obverse: Veiled and diademed head of Vesta facing right; to left, Q CASSIVS downwards; to right, VEST upwards. Border of dots. Reverse: Temple of Vesta, surmounted by figure holding scepter and patera and flanked by antefixes; within, curule chair; to left, voting urn; to right, tablet inscribed A.C. (absolvo:condemno). Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic Quintus Cassius Longinus was quaestor in 54 BCE under Pompey and then tribune to the plebeians in 49 with Marcus Antonius. With this coin he commemorates the successful prosecution of three Vestal Virgins accused of incest by his ancestor L. Cassius Longinus Ravilla. His ancestor condemned two of them, Licinia and Marcia. The reverse scene combines the imagery of the Vestals with the decisive power of the vote. Cassius depicts the Temple of Vesta next to a voting station similar to that used in the trial that either absolved or condemned the accused (see coin C041). -- Bradford W.
