Here's a favorite denarius, at least for today, for the obverse portrait of Concordia, the event illustrated on the reverse, and the context at time of issue.

It was minted in the time period of the [URL='http://sites.psu.edu/conspofcatiline/']Cataline conspiracy[/URL]. The Aemilia family name can still be seen today in the Italian province name of "Emilia-Romagna", which takes its name from the Roman road, Via Aemilia, completed in 187 AD by consul, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus.
