| Aanvullende informatie |
Marcus Porcius Laeca served as moneyer around 125 BC, a period when Rome was still absorbing the political shockwaves of Tiberius Gracchus's murder in 133 BC and bracing for the reforms of his brother Gaius, who would be killed just two years after this coin was struck. The Porcii were an old plebeian family — the same gens that produced Cato the Censor — and Laeca's use of the full tria nomina on the reverse was part of a broader trend among moneyers to leverage familial prestige for political visibility.
RRC 270/1 is the sole type attributed to this moneyer.
