| Additional information |
Lucius Appuleius Saturninus issued this denarius in 104 BC during his first term as tribune, before his radicalization made him the most dangerous populist in Rome. Within four years he would be passing land legislation by mob violence, orchestrating the murder of a political rival on the Capitoline, and ultimately killed by senatorial decree — his opponents releasing prisoners from the city jail to stone him on the roof of the Curia where he had taken refuge. The moneyer who struck these coins likely lived to see all of it.
