| Additional information |
Struck in Spain during the final Pompeian resistance against Caesar, this issue was produced under the authority of Gnaeus Pompeius Minor — the elder son of Pompey the Great — as part of the broader republican coalition fighting at Munda. The moneyer M. Publicius is otherwise virtually unknown, his name surviving almost entirely through this type. The Pompeian forces were decisively crushed at Munda in March 45 BC, after which Pompey the Younger fled before being captured and executed in April. Coins of this issue were almost certainly struck in a military camp rather than a permanent mint facility.
