Border of dots. Reverse: Military equestrian statue on three-arched pedestal; horseman wearing cuirass and wreath and holding spear in right hand; around, MN AEMILIO; between arches, LEP. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic Manius Aemilius Lepidus used this coin to commemorate the construction of an aqueduct in 179 BCE by his ancestor Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. The inscription of his name between the arches on the reverse is in the dative, implying that the aqueduct was dedicated to his ancestor Aemilius. The inscription around the coin probably only refers to the minting magistrate. The bust on the obverse is probably Roma. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Border of dots. Reverse: Voting scene in interior of comitium. In foreground on pons, one figure on left receives tabella from rogator and second drops tabella into box; above, three parallel lines; above, scabellum [with tabella inscribed P (provoco)]; in field, P NERVA. Style/Period: Roman Republic Publius Licinius Nerva was praetor of Sicily in 104 BCE. On this coin, he depicts a typical arrangement for a voting session in the comitium. The rogator is the polling-clerk who hands out tabellae to the voters. The votes, usually one or two words indicating a postive or negative vote (see coin C038), are placed into urns or boxes (see coin C041). The three parallel lines above the figures represent a division between the saepta or enclosures allotted to the different tribes which were voting. On the chair (unfortunately not legible on this coin) is a tabella with a positive vote (provoco) inscribed onto it. The use of this coin type by Publius Licinius Nerva could be similar to that of coins C038 and C041. In 137 BCE, the Lex Cassia tabellaria was passed, allowing citizens in the comitium to vote with a ballot. This coin type may commemorate that decision. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Border of dots. Reverse: Statue of horseman with laurel branch over shoulder, right; beneath, prancing horse, a flower; on statue base, L PHILLIPPVS; below, star. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic This coin commemorates the success of the ancestor of Lucius Marcius Philippus, L. Marcius Q. f. Philippus, who had been engaged in a diplomatic mission to Philip V of Macedon, from which he returned with a treaty of friendship. The portrait of Philip V on the obverse bears no resemblance to any portraits of Philip on Greek coins. The reverse of the coin further commemorates the gens Marcia by showing a triumphant figure on horseback. The laurel branch designates the rider as a triumphator. The flower beneath the horse alludes to the conception of Mars, the Roman god of war, whose mother Hera was impregnated while disguised as a flower. The symbol on the obverse designates that the coin was minted in Rome. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Reverse: Warrior galloping left, with helmet, spear and shield; above, Q; below, [L] TORQVA. Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic This coin comemorates the achievements of the ancestor of Lucius Manlius Torquatus, T. Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus. He received the surname Torquatus when he defeated a Gaul (described as a "giant" in surviving accounts) in single combat and captured his gold torque or collar in 361 BCE. The torque is shown on the obverse. The same ancestor served as dictator in 353 and 349 as well as consul in 344 and 330. The Q on the reverse could indicate that Lucius Manlius Torquatus minted this coin while serving as a quaestor. It was not uncommon for quaestors to dictate to triumviri monetales the types for coins. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Line border. Reverse: Nude male figure carrying a man on his shoulder, right (one of the Catanian brothers carrying his father); to left, M HERENNI downwards; to right, control mark, D · . Border of dots. Style/Period: Roman Republic The reverse of this coin has been described as "pietas in action," referring to the depiction of Pietas on the obverse. The coin type depicts the family devotion of the Catanian brothers as described by Valerius Maximus. One of the brothers, either Amphinomus or Anapias of Catana, is seen carrying away his father on his shoulders from the erupting Mt. Etna. The father looks back in horror at the destruction. The devotion of the brothers to their parents, symbolized by the depiction of Pietas on the obverse, is the primary focus of the coin type. With Marcus Herrenius, the use of control marks developed by adding dots to letters, which now expanded to include most of the alphabet. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 91 - 89 BCE Description An account of the resource Obverse: Laureate head of Italia wearing earring and necklace left; behind, (in Oscan letters) ITALIA downwards. Border of dots. Reverse: A warrior, standing, head to right, wearing helmet and cloak, resting right hand on spear pointing down, holding sword in left hand, left foot on upper portion of Roman standard; on right, recumbent Sabellian ox. Style/Period: Roman Republic During the Social War (91-89 BCE), the Confederate States, which had broken all economic ties with Rome, began to issue their own coinage to finance their rebellion. The allies issued two types of silver coins: coins with Latin inscriptions and coins with Oscan inscriptions, on which they used types well known on Roman coins. This coin was issued by the Italian Confederation during the Social War to commemorate its successes. The spear pointing downwards on the reverse is a sign of victory. The standing figure could be Mars, C. Papius Mutilus, a Samnite general, or perhaps Italia again. He is swearing an oath of allegiance over the sacrifice of an ox reclining nearby. -- Bradford W.

Border of dots. Reverse: Roma, standing facing, wearing helmet with triple crest and holding spear in right hand, with left hand on hip; to right, Genius of Rome crowning her with right hand and holding cornucopia in left hand; between, control mark · D · (with · above); in exergue [LE]NT MAR F; laurel wreath border. Style/Period: Roman Republic The family of Publius Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus favored Hercules and the Genius of the Roman People. Hercules Respiciens, the "Hercules looking back," is seen with his lion skin cap (see coin C032). The club and thinner face are Roman adaptations of the similar Hellenistic coin type. The genius performed an active role as guardian of whatever he represented. The Genius of the Roman people was popular in the first century BCE. Here, according to Brauer, the Genius is crowning Roma for her success and prosperity in the war against the rebel Sertorius from 76-75 BCE. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.
