According to Crawford the issue "seems reasonable to regard as a Ceaesarian issue".
Grüber identifies the moneyer as: "At the time of the issue of these coins there were several members of the Acilia gens with the praenomen Manius, but this moneyer is usually identified with Manius Acilius Glabrio, one of Caesar's lieutenants, and the son of Mn. Acilius Glabrio, consul B.C. 67, and Aemilia, daughter of M. Aemilius Scaurus, whom Sulla, in B.C. 82, compelled him to divorce."
For there reverse there in an intersting part in Mommsen: "Man erinnert,...dasz in Rom in der acilischen Gasse dem ersten nach Rom gekommenen griechischen Arzt von Staatswegen ein Laden angewiesen ward (Plinius)" -
