[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 7971528, member: 87809"]Gaius Calpurnius Piso Frugi and Tullia (Tulliola as Cicero fondly called her in his letters) were married when she was 15 or 16 years old. She was born in 79 / 78 BC and they got married in 63 BC. After Calpurnius Piso Frugi died in 57 BC, she married two more times. Her last marriage was with Publius Cornelius Dolabella, a very short-lived marriage that ended in divorce, much to the satisfaction of Cicero (Epistulae ad familiares III, 12, 2; IV, 18, 5). Shortly after Julius Caesar was murdered, this Dolabella put on the consular robes, held a speech to the people and identified himself with the murderers and the murder! (Cassius Dio, XLIV, 22, 1). Apparently there is an issue of Terentia, Cicero's first wife: [URL]http://www.ancient-roman-coin.com/terentia-coins-republic[/URL] but haven't found any of his second wife Publilia. I do have a common Apollo denarius of Lucius Calpurnius Piso, the father of Gaius and father-in-law of Tullia. I think it is a funny denarius because Apollo is shown with what I call big staring "fish eyes": Rome, 90 BC 18 mm, 3.902 g Crawford 340/1; Sydenham 663e; RSC I Calpurnia 11; Ob.: Laureate head of Apollo right; R to left, R below chin Rev.: Horseman galloping right, holding palm frond and reins; L PISO FRVGI, XVIIII below [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1382832[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
