L.Livineius Regulus (c.42 BC) - Denarius- head of the Praetor L. Livineius Regulus - Reverse. Curule chair between six fasces. (EF)
Sale!
L. Livineius Regulus was a praetor and moneyer in the late Republic, and his coinage is part of the so-called imperatorial issues of the civil-war period. These coins advertised a magistrate’s office or family prestige through symbolic imagery. In later years he struck coins for Octavian (Augustus).
The curule chair was the ceremonial seat of high Roman magistrates such as praetors, consuls, and curule aediles. The fasces symbolized official coercive power, so the pairing on the reverse is essentially a statement of rank and authority.
