Reverse: TER / PAVLLVS: Trophy; on right, togate figure of L. Aemilius Paullus; on left, three captives (King Perseus of Macedon and his sons). Border of dots. Countermark and banker's mark. Mint: Rome Size: 19.0 mm Weight: 3.33 grams Moneyers during the mid-late Roman Republic often used their authority over coinage design to promote the deeds/lineages of their families, to hearken back to legendary deeds from begone eras, or simply to make puns. The mint official who struck this coin, L. Aemilius Lepidus Paullus (consul in 50 BCE) , claimed to be descended from Lucius Aemilius Paullus, the Roman general and statesmen who crushed the final Antigonid king, Perseus, during the Third Macedonian War. This coin advertises that lineage claim by portraying the defeated Macedonian king and his sons bowing before the massive figure of L. Aemilius Paullus. This coin also features a very interesting countermark on the reverse. It appears to be a tripod, star, or military standard. Policies I apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
