Roman Republic, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus, 76 - 75 B.C.
|99-50| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |Cn.| |Cornelius| |Lentulus| |Marcellinus,| |76| |-| |75| |B.C.|, This coin expresses the belief of the Roman people in their destiny to dominate the land and sea as caput rerum, the head of the world. In his new book Roman Republican Moneyers and Their Coins 81 B.C. - 64 B.C., Michael Harlan writes, "It was a goal still to be achieved in 74, but expounded with the same degree of faith as was the believe that it was America's manifest destiny to spread from ocean to ocean."

The Q on the reverse stands for Quaestor, the function of this moneyer under the command of Proconsul Pompey. He was sent Spain to assist Metellus Pius in the war against Sertorius.
