The moneyer, and indeed the Farsuleia gens, is completely unknown other than this issue of denarii. The significance of the types has never been interpreted with certainty, but seems to allude to a peaceful incorporation of the Italian peoples into the Roman state after the Social War and Sulla's settlement. The issue may have been authorized as payment for the legions commanded by Pompey and Catulus that were tasked with bringing Lepidus to heel.
