Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Publius Sepullius MacerThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Publius Sepullius Macer in 44 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse depicts a temple of four columns with closed doors, with a globe in the pediment. Around the temple is the legend 'CLEMENTIAE CAESAREIS' ('the mercy of Caesar'). The Senate ordered a temple to be built in honour of Caesar in gratitude for the mercy he had shown them. Although this occurred before his assassination on 15th of March, this issue may well date from later in the year, one of several memorial designs.
