Denarius - Julius Caesar L•LIVINEIVS REGVLVS

Issued in 42 BC by L. Livineius Regulus, a moneyer operating under the authority of the Second Triumvirate, this denarius was struck during one of the most volatile years in Roman political history — the same year Brutus and Cassius were defeated at Philippi. Regulus was likely a partisan of Octavian or Antony, though his precise allegiances remain debated among scholars. The series referencing Caesar posthumously served a clear propagandistic function: legitimizing the Triumvirate's claim as avengers of the dictator.

RRC 494/24 is among several related issues from this period sharing dies with other Caesarian moneyers, suggesting coordinated minting activity rather than independent production runs.
