Athena standing left, holding shield and spear.RPC I 3139; BMC 21.Fulvia was the first non-mythological Roman woman to appear on a coin. Born in Tusculum, she came from a very wealthy family of recent nobility. She married first Publius Clodius Pulcher, then Gaius Scribonius Curio, and finally Mark Antony, all supporters of Julius Caesar. When Caesar died Fulvia set up court at her own home, where friends and attendants crowded in and important affairs of state were decided. Fulvia assisted Antony and followed him everywhere, even when rebellions had to be put down. Sources remember her for her political ambition and activity, and particularly for her involvement in the war of Perugia (41-40 BC) when, according to Cassius Dio, Fulvia herself brandished a sword and harangued the troops. Mark Antony never joined her in Perugia, and Fulvia chose voluntary exile in Greece with her sons, where she died. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 6.88 g. Diameter: 19 mm.
