| Additional information |
This quinarius belongs to the coinage struck at Lugdunum — modern Lyon — during Antony's tenure as one of the three men constituted for settling the republic, the title spelled out in the reverse legend. The Lugdunum mint itself was newly established for this period; the city had only been founded as a Roman colony in 43 BC, making these among the very first coins struck there. Antony's imperator acclamation count of 41 places the issue precisely within the months surrounding the formation of the Second Triumvirate and the subsequent proscriptions.
The inclusion of Fulvia on a Roman coin was essentially without precedent for a living Roman woman at the time.
