Lucius Julius Bursio served as a triumvir monetalis (moneyer) around 85 BC during a chaotic period marked by civil war between Marian and Sullan factions. Little is known about his personal career beyond his role at the mint, though his nomen indicates membership in the vast Julia gens, one of Rome’s most ancient patrician families. Right now, Roman Republic L. Julius Bursio AR Denarius Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Republic L. Julius Bursio AR Denarius Silver Coin comes with a Very Fine certification from the NGC, as well as 5/5 grades for the strike and surface. The coin’s surfaces are dark gray with subdued luster and moderate toning of the silver. The 5/5 strike indicates a coin with designs that were strongly struck, with good centering and evenness.
The coins of L. Julius Bursio appeared during the Social War’s aftermath, when Rome was struggling to integrate Italian allies and recover from devastating internal conflicts. Following the Social War’s conclusion around 88 BC, Rome faced the monumental task of integrating hundreds of thousands of new citizens from Italian communities that had fought for enfranchisement. This period of reconstruction was immediately complicated by Mithridates VI’s aggression in the East and the outbreak of civil war between Marius and Sulla, preventing Rome from fully addressing the integration challenges.
The Roman Republic L. Julius Bursio AR Denarii featured traditional Roman religious imagery, with the obverse typically displaying a bust of Apollo or a similar deity wearing a laurel wreath. Romans often used a syncretic deity design during this period. Syncretic deities were composite images that blended imagery representative of gods from different cultures or traditions. The reverse often depicted Victory in a quadriga (a four-horse chariot), a common motif that celebrated Roman military supremacy and divine favor.
