| Additional information |
Lucius Plautius Plancus served as moneyer around 47 BC, a year when Julius Caesar held both the dictatorship and the consulship and Roman institutional life was bending visibly under the pressure of one-man rule. The moneyer himself later pivoted with characteristic Roman opportunism — he eventually supported Augustus and is credited by some ancient sources as the man who proposed the name "Augustus" in the Senate in 27 BC, an act of flattery that secured his own survival into the new regime.
RRC 453/1 is well-documented with two die groups, reflected in the separate RBW references 1583 and 1586.
