From the 1930's Collection of Robert W. Hubel of Michigan. Ex Cahn 75 (30 May 1932), lot 774.

The aurei of L. Munatius Plancus were distributed during Caesar's triumph of October 45 BC, celebrating his final defeat of the Pompeians at Munda the previous year. This triumph raised some concerns in Rome, as it marked a victory over fellow Romans, an event never before deserving a triumph. Such actions only heightened the fears in some quarters over Caesar's intentions, fears which lead to his assassination six months later.


Before his murder, Caesar appointed Plancus governor of Transalpine Gaul, where he founded the colony of Lugdunum.
