| Additional information |
Issued under the moneyers Marcus Fannius and Lucius Critonius, this denarius dates to 86 BC — the year after Sulla's first march on Rome and squarely within the civil war between Sullan and Marian factions. Fannius and Critonius were aediles, not the usual tresviri monetales, an irregular arrangement that reflects the institutional disruption of that period; the sitting moneyers had likely fled with Sulla's enemies or were otherwise unavailable.
The aedilician authority behind this issue is what makes it anomalous within the Republican series.
