Denarius C. Considius Paetus, PAETI / C•CONSIDI

C. Considius Paetus issued this denarius during one of the most compressed political moments of the late Republic — 46 BC, the year Caesar returned from the African campaign after Thapsus, celebrated four triumphs, and held the dictatorship for the second time. The moneyers of that year operated under an authority structure that was, functionally, no longer republican in any meaningful sense.

Crawford catalogues this as RRC 465/4, one of several issues from Paetus in 46 BC, distinguished by the reverse type pairing. The gens Considia is otherwise poorly documented in the historical record, making this coin one of the few hard attestations of the family's presence among the tresviri monetales.
