about VF

Lucius Licinius Crassus, & Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus
The reverse commemorates the victory of L. Licinius Crassus and Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus over the Allobroges and their ally Bituitus, king of the Averni. It is one of the very few issues of the Roman Republic struck outside of Rome, this issue was struck in the newly founded city of Narbo in Gaul. These coins, minted by a number of moneyers at this time (and bearing their names) were important in establishing the republican chronology.

L. Procilius generally is identified as the senator who was condemned because of its bad administration. Furthermore it is suggested that he is the historian Procilius. Else nothing is known about the gens Procilia. She seems to be from Lavinium as suggested by her motives.Jochen

The depiction alludes to Mn. Aquillius, grandfather of the mintmaster, who in 101 BC was consul and sent as proconsul to Sicilia to end the so-called 2nd slave uprising. He was successful the following year. The depiction recalls his virtus.

This is the first time the title III VIR was found on a coin.

Q. Antonius Balbus was a member of the Marian party and issued this coinage by special decree of the Senate to prepare for opposition to Sulla's return to Rome. In 82 B.C. he was appointed praetor in Sardinia. He was driven from Sardinia by L. Philippus, the legate of Sulla, and slain. Sulla prevailed and the Victory on the reverse of this type was proven a false hope. -- The Coinage of the Roman Republic by Edward A. Sydenham

The S C on the obverse stands for Senatus Consulto. This issue was authorized by Senate decree, most likely to pay for the extensive military operations during the dictator ship of Sulla. The obverse refers to the Sabine origin of the Claudius Gens. The control numbers run all the way to CLXX.

Reverse: Dioscuri r.; below, wheel symbol; in linear frame, “ROMA”.

Comments: Crawford 79/1 is the earliest issue to use the serrated edge. The serrations are cut into the edge of the flan prior to striking. This practice was first used with this issue but was abandoned for about 100 years until it was again routinely used in the minting of denari. It has been speculated that the purpose of the serrations was to discourage counterfeiting; however, many plated serrati exist. This in itself is not strong evidence of counterfeiting as plated coins are known to be struck with the same dies of fine silver official coins.

Michael Harlan in his book “Roman Republican Moneyers And Their Coins 81 BCE-64 BCE” suggest that the purpose of the serrations were to discourage mint workers from swallowing denari for later retrieval.

Both of these purpose theories are plausible. Some suggested theories of manufacturing techniques are not plausible. Mint workers could not have applied these serrations manually with a chisel. The economics of this are unbelievable as the cost in effort to apply serrations manually to each coin would increase more than 20 times. There must have been some sort of primitive machine that flans were fed into that cut the serrations.

The present coin has a small flan crack across Roma’s chin and very minor corrosion from 9 to 11 on obverse. Otherwise it is well centered and EF.
