$43.00
Silver Roman Republic Denarius (18mm, 2.91g.) Gaius Papius Mutilus, Campania mint, struck 90 B.C. References: Campana, Monetazione 100 (D65/R87); Sydenham 641; BMCRR Social War 41; HN Italy 427; RBW –. Very rare, only 22 of this type noted by Campana of which 15 are in museums. The most aggressively anti-Roman coin minted by the Italian allies in the Social War. The Roman wolf is entirely overpowered by the Italian bull, and beneath the design the name of the moneyer responsible is written in the Italian language of Oscan. The other side of the silver coin blazons the head of the god Bacchus and the name, also in Oscan, of one of the leading Italian generals.This issue was hand-struck (hammered) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (ancient Roman province Philippopolis). It goes without saying you always get the exact item in the picture.The revolt of Rome\'s Italian allies (socii, hence \'Social War\') broke out toward the close of the year 91 BC and was the culmination of longstanding grievances occasioned by the Senate\'s inept handling of foreign relations. The Marsi were especially prominent in this movement, hence the name \'Marsic Confederation,\' which is often applied to the rebel state. The main fighting was in the years 90-89 BC and the rebellion assumed alarming proportions when both consuls for 90 BC were defeated by rebel armies. Rome appeared to be in serious danger of defeat, but the movement collapsed as suddenly as it had begun. The victory was achieved largely through the political concession of granting Roman citizenship to the enemy. Thereafter, all of Italy south of the Po was united by this common bond. The coinage of the Marsic Confederation is of great interest, consisting principally of silver denarii, some of which bear the names of the rebel generals. The reverse here depicts the raging Italian bull trampling and goring the Roman wolf. Design:Obverse sideHead of Liber (Bacchus) right, wearing ivy wreathLegend:MVTIL EMBRATVR (in Oscan) Reverse sideBull standing right on back of wolf, goring itLegend:C. PAAPI (in Oscan) in ex.
