Denarius Fonteia: Publius Fonteius Capito, P•FONTEIVS•CAPITO•III•VIR•CONCORDIA / T•DIDI•IMP•VIL•PVB

Publius Fonteius Capito served as moneyer in 55 BC alongside two colleagues, one of whom — Titus Didius — is honored on this coin's reverse type by name and title. The abbreviation IMP on a moneyer's issue is unusual; it references Titus Didius's imperatorship earned during his Spanish campaigns of the late second century BC, a rare instance of a sitting moneyer commemorating a long-dead general to whom his family presumably owed political debt. VIL•PVB likely refers to the Villa Publica, the census building on the Campus Martius where Didius conducted troop levies.
