Fractional silver denominations were restored by Julius Caesar during his dictatorship in 48 BC. As a protector god of commerce, Mercury was a type fit for a small silver denomination such as the sestertius, or quarter denarius, reintroduced to ease everyday transactions. However, few examples of this denomination were issued and only three out of four moneyers of this college struck these tiny coins. This issue also includes Caesar’s portrait denarii, both before (first phase) and after (second phase) Caesar’s assasination; and during the second phase of his tenure (April-May), this same moneyer was the only one who struck the first portrait denarii of Mark Antony. If, as in earlier times, Roman republican moneyers had their choice for silver types, we can safely presume the allegiance of the man during the Triumvirate.
