Coin (obverse), 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 obverse of the coin. The obverse depicts Concordia, the goddess of harmony, wearing a veil and diadem, and identified by the legend 'CONCORDIA' written downwards on the right. The legend 'PAVLLVS.LEPIDVS' written upwards on the left refers to the moneyer. The 60s BC were the height of Cicero's power. This moneyer was a follower of Cicero, and his design here may reflect Cicero's ideas of healing the growing divide between the Senate and those outside of it.
