Vibius C.f. Pansa served as a moneyer around 90 BCE, during the critical period of the Social War when Rome’s Italian allies were fighting for citizenship rights. The designation “C.f.” indicated he was the son of Gaius, marking his position within the Vibia gens. His tenure as moneyer came at a tumultuous time when Rome was struggling with both military challenges from the Italian rebels and internal political tensions. Silver Denarius coins issued by Pansa featured common Roman iconography with busts of deities from Roman mythology. Today, Roman Republic C.f. Pansa AR Denarius Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Social War (91-88 BCE), also called the Marsic War, represented one of the most dangerous crises in Roman Republican history, when Rome’s Italian allies (socii) revolted to demand full Roman citizenship and equal political rights. The conflict erupted after decades of growing resentment among the Italians who provided troops for Rome’s armies but were denied the benefits of citizenship.
This Roman Republic C. Vib. C.f. Pansa AR Denarius Coin is in Choice Extremely Fine condition. The specimen exhibits mostly untoned silver with a satin or light-frosted luster across the designs and background fields. The 3/5 strike indicates an average grade for the centering, strength, and evenness of the designs, while the 5/5 surface indicates a coin in well-preserved condition, given its age.
In the obverse design of Roman Republic Pansa AR Denarius Coins, you’ll find a right-profile bust of the god Apollo, known as the god of music, arts, knowledge, and the sun. For the reverse design of the C.Vib. C.f. Pansa AR Denarius Silver Coin, you’ll find a standing portrait of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and war.
The Social War was fierce and costly for the Roman Republic, with the rebels establishing their own capital at Corfinium and minting their own coins showing the Italian bull goring the Roman wolf. Rome ultimately prevailed militarily but was forced to grant citizenship to the Italians through a series of laws, fundamentally transforming the Roman state from a city-state with subordinate allies into a more unified Italian confederation that would form the basis of the later Roman Empire.
