L. Aemilius Lepidus Paullus. 62 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.52 g, 6h). Rome mint. Veiled and diademed head of Concordia right / L. Aemilius Paullus to right of trophy; Perseus and his sons to left. Crawford 415/1; Sydenham 926; Aemilia 10. VF, toned, light surface roughness.
From the Ken Bressett Collection. Purchased from Corbitt & Hunter in 1979 for @ $33.
This coin commemorates the victories of the moneyer's supposed ancestor, L. Aemilius Paullus (in fact they were only vaguely related). The word Ter on the reverse refers to L. Aemilius Paullus' three triumphs: in Spain in 190, Liguria in 181 and at the famous battle of Pydna in 168, when the Romans extinguished the independent Macedonian kingdom.
