L. Mussidius Longus AR Denarius. Rome, 42 BC. Draped bust of Victory, with the features of Fulvia, right / Victory in prancing biga to right; L•MVSSIDIVS above, LONGVS below. Crawford 494/40; RSC Mussidia 4; CRI 186. 4.03g, 18mm, 8h.
Near Extremely Fine. Lustrous highlights. Very complete, well centred and in fine style for the issue. Very Rare.
This rare type has long been recognised to depict Fulvia, the aristocratic and politically ambitious wife of Marc Antony. She was the first non-mythological Roman woman to ever appear on a Roman coin.
