Roman Republic, The Pompeians, Q. Sicinius, 49 B.C.
|Pompeians|, |Roman| |Republic,| |The| |Pompeians,| |Q.| |Sicinius,| |49| |B.C.|, This coin indicates the moneyer Q. Sicinius' support for Pompey after Caesar crossed the Rubicon. The palm refers to Pompey's many military victories. The Senate awarded Pompey the wreath for his defeat of Mithradates VI in 63 B.C., and the caduceus for his defeat of the Cilician pirates. This was the last issue of denarii before Caesar's occupation of Rome. Sicinius fled with Pompey and later resumed his duties as a moneyer, striking in a mobile military mint in the East.
