Vejovis

Vejovis was a Roman god associated with healing and the Greek Asclepius but with other uncertain and mysterious attributes. He was worshipped mostly in Rome and at Bovillae in Latium. Depicted as a young man, holding a bunch of arrows, pilum, or fulmen in his hand, he was accompanied by a goat. To avert plagues, a she-goat was sacrificed to Vejovis each spring.

Vejovis is a little-known Italian deity. He was worshiped in a temple on the Capitol in Rome. The reverse most likely depicts a statue that was beside the statue of Vejovis in the temple. This statue may refer to the infancy of Jupiter who was suckled by the goat Amaltheia on Mount Ida.

The thyrsus is the staff carried by Bacchus and his associates; topped by a pine cone or a bunch of ivy leaves and wreathed with tendrils of vine or ivy.

Roman Republic, Lucius Caesius, 112 - 111 B.C.

|211-100| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |Lucius| |Caesius,| |112| |-| |111| |B.C.||denarius|
An Egyptian papyrus of 112 B.C. issues instructions to a local official in the Fayum for the visit of a Roman senator, Lucius Memmius. He was apparently visiting for pleasure, to see the sights, and was to receive a reception similar to that which would be given to a great dignitary of the kingdom. Everything was to be ready for his entertainment, including food for the sacred crocodiles. It is an incidental light upon the subservience to members of the Roman elite which it was now thought politic to show in the Ptolemaic Kingdom.

Roman Republic, L. Julius Bursio, 85 B.C.

|99-50| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |L.| |Julius| |Bursio,| |85| |B.C.||denarius|
The strange deity on the obverse combines attributes of Apollo, Mercury and Neptune. L. Ivliius Bursio is known only from his coinage. De Ruyter's die study of this type lists this obverse die (O168) with a reverse die numbered LXXVIIII. He does not list any specimens of any type with this reverse control number. BMCRR Rome has this reverse control number but an anchor obverse control symbol.
