| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing female figure, identified as Ceres or a similar draped goddess, occupies the centre of the field in full-length view, facing left. She wears a long chiton and holds a patera or round object in her extended right hand, with a long torch or sceptre in her left. The figure is rendered in a stiff, frontal style typical of late Republican and early Imperial moneyer coinage. The Latin legend C MARIVS C F TRO IIIVIR is distributed around the field, identifying the moneyer Gaius Marius, son of Gaius, of the Tromentina tribe, in his capacity as one of the tresviri monetales. The coin's surface retains a pleasing original luster with natural cabinet toning. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under the moneyer Gaius Marius, one of three tresviri monetales appointed that year — junior magistrates whose tenure as mint officials was a standard rung on the cursus honorum. The attribution to a descendant of the famous general of the same name is tempting but unverified; the family connection, if real, would have carried considerable political weight during Augustus's careful reconstruction of Republican-era institutions as theater.
13 BC was also the year of Agrippa's return from the East and the dedication of the Ara Pacis, a moment of calculated dynastic messaging in which even routine coin issues participated.
