Marcus Lepidus Imperator
Laureate head of Roma (?)  right

M LEPIDVS 
Below equestrian statue of M. Aemelius Lepidus (consul 187 and 175 BC) right, carrying trophy

Rome, 61 BC

3.79g

Rare!

Sear 371, RPC 419/1, CRR 827-828b

Freed from a NGC Holder, graded strike 4/5; surface 4/5.  

Marcus Lepidus strikes this coin early in his career as moneyer.  After Julius Caesar's assassination he became Pontifex Maximus and formed the Second Triumvirate with Antony and Octavian.  He would keep his post as Pontifex Maximus until his death.  The office then became the sole procession of the Emperors.
