| Additional information |
Gaius Annius Luscus was appointed propraetor by Sulla and sent to Spain in 82–81 BC to suppress the Marian commander Quintus Sertorius. This coin was struck in a traveling military mint accompanying that campaign — the ex senatus consulto notation reflecting Sulla's need to dress his extraordinary appointments in the formal language of legitimate authority. The moneyer Gaius Tarquitius was subordinate staff, his name appearing on the issue as quaestor pro praetore.
Sertorius ultimately withdrew to Mauretania rather than fight Annius directly, leaving the Spanish provinces briefly pacified — though he returned within two years to begin the Sertorian War in earnest.
