Dupondius - Augustus M MAECILIVS TVLLVS IIIVIR A A A F F S C, Victory

This piece belongs to the municipal coinage struck at Rome under the tresviri monetales — the board of three magistrates responsible for mint administration. M. Maecilius Tullus held this position in 7 BC, one of the last years the monetales exercised meaningful independent authority before Augustus progressively absorbed minting prerogatives into the imperial apparatus. The magistrates' names continued appearing on the bronze for a few years yet, but their functional independence was already largely ceremonial by this point.
