Aureus Livineia: Lucius Livineius Regulus, C·CAESAR III·VIR·R·P·C / L·REGVLVS IIII·VIR·A·P·F

Struck in 42 BC, the year the Lex Titia formally legalized the Second Triumvirate, this aureus belongs to a group of issues produced by the moneyers appointed under triumviral authority — men whose names on the coinage signaled institutional continuity even as the Republic's governing machinery was being dismantled around them. Lucius Livineius Regulus held the quattuorviri auro argento aere flando feriundo office, one of four mint magistrates operating under what was, in practice, the personal monetary authority of the triumvirs.

The RRC 494 group is tightly dated to this single year. Crawford notes the series corresponds with the massive military expenditure leading to Philippi.
