A. Postumius Albinus. DenariusRRC 372/2
81 BC

Obverse: HISPAN, Veiled head of Hispania r
Reverse: ·S·N – ALBIN Togate figure standing l., raising hand; to l., legionary eagle and to r., fasces with axe.

Issued when Rome had won the supremacy in Italy but was still fighting the last of the Marians in Spain.

....and so the magistrate has been iddentified as the praetor Lucius Postumius Albinus who had gone to further Spain in 180 and had his term prorogued into 179. He fought two major battles with the Vaccaei, killing a reported 35,000. (....) If the magistrate on the coin is the victorious praetor, his century old triumph over the Lusitanians was especially relevant in 81, for ir was among the Lusitanians where Sertorius found the greatest support. (Harlan)

The moneyer is assumed to be a grandson of the consul of 110 and a son of the moneyer of 96 (Crawford)

Surprising to have an anonymous denarius as late as 115. The reverse design portrays the Roman foundation myth in a new manner – showing the goddess Roma watching over the twins Romulus and Remus as they are suckled by the she-wolf, waiting for the day that Rome will be built.

According to Crawford the choice of the Genius populi Romani with dominiation "terra marique" (to land and water) should be read as a public statement to claim the power of Rome over the rebel state of Sertorius.

Cn. Plancius, DenariusRRC 432/1
55 b.c.

The obverse seems to symbolize Macedonia, the reverse to allude to hunting in Crete; both where places in which Cn. Plancius has spent some time in the course of his career (Crawford)

Cn. Plancius stammte aus einer Ritterfamilie und war der Sohn eines angesehenen Steuerpächters....
Wiederum wurde Plancius gewählt, mit ihm A. Plotins, während Q. Pedius und Inventius dnrchfielen. Letzterer erzielte die geringste Stimmenzahl (§ 17 p. 482,22). Er tat, was in solchen Fällen oft geschah: er verklagte seinen siegreichen Rivalen wegen ambitus;....die Verteidigung führten Cicero und Hortensius. (W. Kroll, Ciceros Rede für Plancius, Rheinisches Museum, 86 (1937))
