Commentary
Marque de changeur sur le portrait au droit. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de vingt-six coins de droit et de vingt-neuf coins de revers pour deux variétés (marteau et tenaille). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Money changer's mark on the obverse portrait. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of twenty-six obverse dies and twenty-nine reverse dies for two varieties (hammer and pincers). This type seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
AEMILIA
(62 BC)
Lucius Æmilius Lepidus Paullus was monetary triumvir in 63-62 BC, quaestor in 59, praetor in 53, then consul in 50 BC with Caius Claudius Marcellus. He does not seem to have a political role after Caesar's death in 44 BC but was nevertheless part of the embassy sent to Antony by the Senate in 43 BC, before the disappearance of the two consuls Hirtius and Pansa at the Battle of Mutina. Paullus and his son are among the outcasts of 43. They escape and take refuge with Brutus. After Philippi (42 BC), Paullus fled to Miletus and spent the last years of his life in Asia Minor, despite Octavian's pardon.
