M. Volteius M.f., DenariusRRC 385/1
78 b.c.
The front of the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus standing on the Capitole.
The temple was originally build during the time of the Kings; reportedly decided by Numa Pompilus himself, finished only in the founding year of the Republic under Marcus Horatius Pulvillus, on September 13, 509 BC
Destroyed in 83 bc and not yet rubuilt when this coin was minted.
Also this temple front (or rather the front of the newly rebuild one) can be found on coins of Petillius Capitolinus in 43 BC

Acquired from Silenos Coins, eBay, September 2007.
Possibly a reverse that refers to a failed plot against the emperor, Jupiter is scene here as his own worshipper. Similar in theme to the previous Neronian Iuppiter Custos reverse.
A nicely centered denarius with no obvious flaws. A good example of prime Flavian coinage.David Atherton
