Description
Q. Sicinius and C. Coponius (49 BC). AR denarius (19mm, 3.93 gm, 8h). Military mint traveling with Pompey the Great. Q · SICINIVS before, III · VIR behind, diademed head of Apollo right; below, star / C · COPONIVS PR · S· C, lion's skin draped over club between arrow and bow. Crawford 444/1a. Sear 3. Sydenham 939. Sicinia 1. Well-centered on a large flan, with gorgeous light iridescent toning. MGC MS? 5/5 - 5/5.This attractive type was struck to help finance Pompey's campaigns after fleeing Rome when Caesar was marching on the city, and was most likely issued at Ephesus, from where it borrowed the club and lion's skin type from the fractional cistophori of Asia Minor. The S C found on the coins was an attempt at legitimacy, and may have had senatorial approval, although from senators who had also fled Rome along with the Pompeian faction.
