Roman Republic, P. Furius Crassipes, 84 B.C.
|99-50| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |P.| |Furius| |Crassipes,| |84| |B.C.|, The clubfoot, crassipes in Latin, in a perfect example of typical Roman humor, replaces the moneyer's name in the obverse inscription. The chair refers to the moneyer's position as Aedile Curule. The turreted head probably indicates this special issue was authorized to finance a building project. Publius Fourius Crassipes is only known from his coins but he was probably the father of Fourius Crassipes who married Cicero's daughter, who became proquaestor in Sicily, and who struck bronze coins bearing his name at Panormus.
