Roman Republic, M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus, 67 B.C.
Struck by Cestianus serving as curule aedile by special decree of the Senate. Cestianus had also issued coins as a moneyer two years before. The curule chair was for senior magistrates including dictators, masters of the horse, consuls, praetors, censors, and the curule aediles. As a form of a throne, it might be given as an honor to foreign kings recognized formally as a friend (amicus) by the Roman people or senate. Designed for use by commanders in the field, the curule chair could be folded for easy transport. It had no back, low arms, curved legs forming an X, and was traditionally made of or veneered with ivory.
