Issued to honor Marius&#039; victories over the Teutones and Ambrones at Aquae Sextiae in 102 B.C. and the Cimbri at Vercellae in 101 B.C. Crawford suggests this issue financed settlement of Marius&#039; veterans, partly in Cisalpine Gaul. Sear (p. 113) notes, &quot;The duplication of &#039;Q&#039; suggests that on the reverse it may be intended as a mark of value rather than the designation of the issuer as a <i>quaestor</i>.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
