Struck in 45 BC, the year Caesar returned from his final campaign at Munda, this issue belongs to a period when the moneyers of the tresviri monetales were functioning under effectively autocratic supervision — their traditional Republican independence increasingly ceremonial. Lucius Papius Celsus is otherwise obscure historically; nothing survives to explain his career beyond this office.
RRC 472/1 is a single-type issue with no recorded die varieties of commercial significance, though the series is modestly scarce in any grade above Fine.
