Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Caius Vibius Caii filius Caii nepos Pansa Caetronius and Decimus Iunius BrutusAlbinusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Caius Vibius Pansa Caetronius, son of Caius, grandson of Caius, and Decimus Iunius Brutus Albinus in 48 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse. The reverse depicts two hands clasped around a caduceus (a staff carried by ambassadors at times of war). The legend 'ALBINVS.B[RVTI.F]' below refers to one of the moneyers. A similar design also appears on coins issued separately by him. In 49 BC, Caesar crossed the Rubicon to invade Italy in his struggle for power with Pompey. He seized Rome early in the Civil War, and with it the means to mint in Rome. Coins were needed to pay the troops and were issued in large numbers by both sides.
