From the Big Sky Collection.

The moneyer's family is little known, and the moneyer himself is only known from his coins. This issue of denarii was quite massive, however, with controls numbers reaching DXX. According to Crawford, the control numerals on the reverse form a continuous sequence with no control-numeral having more than one die. Crawford 361/1a, the only variety without obverse control, is extremely rare while the rest of P. Crepusius' denarii are all quite common.
