Denarius - Augustus P PETRON TVRPILIAN III VIR

The moneyer P. Petronius Turpilianus held the position of tresvir monetalis — one of three junior magistrates overseeing the mint — likely around 19–18 BC, a period when Augustus was systematically reforming Roman coinage after decades of civil war had degraded both its quality and its ideological coherence. The tresviri monetales of this era were typically young aristocrats near the start of their cursus honorum, and Petronius Turpilianus is otherwise obscure in the historical record.

RIC I 296 is among several issues attributed to this moneyer, struck at Rome during the Augustan reorganization of the mint that followed the emperor's return from the East in 19 BC.
