Fabius Maximus, moneyer in 127 BC.&nbsp; Crawford suggests that the true purpose of this coin was &quot;to enable Sulla to issue a civil coinage without appointing a new triumvirate of moneyers for 82 BC or, alternatively, to celebrate the restoration of the Republic in 80.&quot; (Sear&#039;s <i>Roman Coins</i>, p.127)</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">[ATTACH=full]480255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480256[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Roman Republic</b></font></p><p><font size="4">C.
