| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aeneas, the Trojan hero and legendary ancestor of Rome, striding to the right in full figure, nude save for a chlamys or drapery across his lower body, carrying his elderly father Anchises upon his left shoulder; Anchises is depicted as a small, bearded figure clinging to his son. The composition alludes to Aeneas's pious rescue of his father from burning Troy, a potent symbol of pietas deliberately chosen in Octavian's propaganda. The legend L·REGVLVS IIII·VIR·A·P·F is distributed across the field to the left and right of the central figure. The design is enclosed within a border of dots. |

Struck in 42 BC, this aureus belongs to the frantic coinage program that followed Julius Caesar's assassination, when the triumvirs were simultaneously fighting Brutus and Cassius and scrambling to pay their armies. Lucius Livineius Regulus served as one of the moneyers operating under the authority of the young Octavian — the C·CAESAR of the obverse legend — at a moment when coin production was less a matter of monetary policy than of military survival.
The quattuorviri monetales of this period wielded unusual prominence precisely because the stakes were so high. RRC 494 as a group is well-documented; the 3a subtype distinction rests on die linkage analysis rather than any gross visual difference.
