| Additional information |
Gaius Vibius Pansa Caetronianus served as moneyer around 48 BC, the same year Julius Caesar crossed into Greece to confront Pompey — a conflict that would reshape every institution these coins nominally served. Pansa himself would later rise to consul in 43 BC, dying from wounds at the Battle of Mutina fighting Mark Antony, though ancient sources — including Cicero — darkly hinted the wounds may not have been entirely accidental.
The epithet IOVIS AXVR references the cult of Jupiter Anxurus at Terracina, a sanctuary with deep roots in the Latin coastal region and a connection to the Vibii family's local political ties.
