Lot # 292 - Time of the First Triumvirate. Tessera Nummularia dated 25 March 60 BC (Bone, 51 x 11 x 9 mm, 9.78 g). Inscription on all four sides: PHILARGVRVS / FVLVI / SP(ectavit) A(nte) D(iem) IIX K(alendas) APR(iles) / L AFR(anio) Q MET(ello) (Consulibus). Translation: Inspection carried out by Philargurus, slave of Fulvius, on the eighth day before the Kalends of April, in the year of the consulship of Lucius Afranius and Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer. L. Pedroni, G. Devoto, “Tessere da una collezione privata”, in "Archeologia Classica", Vol. 47, 1995, pp. 164-169, figg. 1a-4a (this specimen). Pierced at the top to be tied to a bag containing coins. Very Rare, with around 150 known examples worldwide - each bearing a different inscription. From a British private collection, later passing into a Swiss collection in the early 2000s. This is a "tessera nummularia", carved from bone and featuring a central perforation that allowed it to be tied directly to a bag of coins. Such objects were not intended for circulation but served as guarantees of the verification of coins by professional money-changers or assayers (nummularii) in ancient Rome. They often certified the weight, purity, and authenticity of a batch of currency. Tesserae like this represent a rare glimpse into the control mechanisms of Roman financial practices. Their utilitarian nature and material suggest daily use in commercial settings. Philargyrus, a speaking name from Greek meaning “lover of silver”, functions here as both a personal and professional designation: Apuleius (Metamorphoses IV, 9) mentions a Theban money-changer named Chryseros, an etymological counterpart illustrating how monetary slaves and attendants were often identified by names evoking metals or wealth. His master, Fulvius, belonged to the homonymous gens Fulvia, one of the foremost Roman families involved in extensive financial operations, which could easily justify the employment of slaves for monetary control. According to Pliny the Elder (N.H. XXI, 6, 8), the first argentarius of Rome was a Fulvius, reportedly condemned during the Hannibalic era for displaying a wreath of roses on his counter - a gesture regarded as an act of ostentatious luxury. Another member of the same family, also a Fulvius, was responsible for constructing the celebrated Basilica Fulvia in the Roman Forum.
