Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius Aemilius Lepidus PaullusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus in 62 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse of the coin. The reverse depicts a trophy between a figure in a toga on the right, probably L. Aemilius Lepidus from whom the moneyer claimed descent, and three captives on the left, identified as King Perseus of Macedon and sons. Traditionally L. Aemilius Lepidus had three great triumphs, the third (as noted by the legend 'TER' for tertius) at Pydna in 168 when he defeated King Perseus and his two sons. The moneyer's claim of descent is probably untrue. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
