Aulus Hirtius, who held the office of praetor when this coin was issued, was a close associate of both Cicero and Caesar and served as one of Caesar’s legates in Gaul. In 43 BC he attained the consulship, having been appointed by Caesar, and was dispatched together with Octavian and Pansa to confront Antony, who was besieging Decimus Brutus at Mutina. Although Hirtius succeeded in defeating Antony, he was killed while leading the assault on Antony’s camp. He is also traditionally credited with completing Caesar’s commentaries on the Gallic, Alexandrine, African, and Spanish wars.

Munatius Plancus were distributed during Caesar’s triumph in October 45 BC, which celebrated his final victory over the Pompeian forces at Munda in the previous year. This triumph caused considerable unease in Rome, as it commemorated a victory over fellow Romans—something that had never before been deemed worthy of such an honour. The event further intensified suspicions about Caesar’s ambitions, anxieties that would culminate in his assassination only six months later. Before his death, Caesar appointed Plancus governor of Transalpine Gaul, where he later founded the colony of Lugdunum.

The identification of the conjoined heads on the obverse of this coin remains uncertain. They have been variously identified as Octavian and Agrippa, Octavian and M. Aemilius Lepidus, and Octavian and Caesar. RPC states that 'the portraits are completely unlike those of Octavian and....are probably those of municipal officials.' In the case of provincial coinage, it is difficult to use style as a criterion in identification as portraits were often either the work of inferior engravers or engravers without access to the Imperial imago. Without any epigraphic evidence the exact identity of these individuals will have to remain uncertain.

AE. 4.05 g. 20 mm. R. Rare. Golden brown patina with orichalcum highlights. Uncleaned black deposits and reddish spot on reverse. Minor roughness, otherwise. about EF. For centuries, numismatists have been puzzled by a curious series of bronze tokens bearing on their reverse numerals from I to XVI. The obverse types on these tokens vary dramatically, bearing not only portraits of Augustus, Tiberius, and Livia, but also various erotic scenes, heterosexual and (possibly) homosexual, or bigas, maenads, capricorns, and other scattered mythological figures. The most prominent theories suggest that they were tickets for entrance to the theater or the games, and the numerals represented sections in the stands, or that they were brothel tokens, with the obverse representing a chosen “product” and the reverse the price. However, both of these theories seem unlikely when one considers that the two seemingly divergent themes are joined by die links to the numeral reverses.(CNG 403785 note).
