| Beschrijving keerzijde | Large S C (Senatus Consultum) in the center of the field, rendered in bold relief, serving as the principal design element of this senatorial bronze issue. The letters are well-formed and prominent, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The moneyer's legend encircles the central S C inscription, running along the upper and lower periphery of the coin. The flat field and bold central motif are characteristic of Augustan As coinage struck under the authority of the tresviri monetales. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maecilius Tullus served as one of the tresviri aetere argento auro flando feriundo — the board of three magistrates responsible for overseeing bronze, silver, and gold production at Rome — during a period when Augustus was methodically rebuilding the Roman mint infrastructure after decades of civil war coinage chaos. The tresviri monetales of this era were typically young men of senatorial ambition using the post as an early career stepping stone, and Maecilius Tullus is otherwise unattested in the historical record beyond this series.
The senatorial S C authorization on aes coinage reflects a careful political arrangement Augustus maintained: the Senate nominally controlled bronze while he controlled precious metals.
