Prieure de Sion Posted June 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 17, 2023 Link: Quote Silver Denarius of the Roman Republic Quintus Minucius Thermus M. f.Denarius of the Roman Republic Period 103 BC; Material: Silver; Diameter: 18mm; Weight: 3.87g; Mint: Rome; Reference: Crawford RRC 319/1 Obverse: Head of young Mars left, wearing crested Corinthian helmet with floral and scroll ornamentation; Reverse: Roman soldier advancing right, protecting a fallen comrade with shield in left hand, an uplifted sword in right hand, fighting a barbarian warrior advancing left, holding shield on left arm and brandishing sword with right hand. Moneyer mark in exergue with THE and MF ligatured. The Inscription reads: Q THERM M F for Quintus [Minucius] Thermus Minucius Filius. The gens Minucia was a Roman family, which flourished from the earliest days of the Republic until imperial times. The gens was apparently of patrician origin, but was better known by its plebeian branches. The first of the Minucii to hold the consulship was Marcus Minucius Augurinus in 497 BC. The nomen Minucius is frequently confounded with Minicius and Municius. This coin records the brave deeds of the moneyer's ancestor and namesake, Quintus Minucius Q. f. L. n. Thermus who was elected consul in 193 BC and assigned Liguria as his province. From his base in Pisa, he waged war against the Ligurians. His command was extended for the following year, during which time he defeated the Ligurian forces near Pisa. He remained as proconsul in Liguria for 191–190 BC. During this time it appears that he may have won the distinction of the corona civica, the second highest military award to which a Roman could aspire, by saving the life of a fellow citizen in battle through slaying an enemy on a spot not further held by the enemy army that day - this act being depicted on the reverse. He may also have been the same Thermus who served as military tribune under Scipio in North Africa in 202 BC. Appian relates that about this time there was a cavalry engagement between the forces of Hannibal and those of Scipio near Zama, in which the latter had the advantage. On the succeeding days they had sundry skirmishes until Scipio, learning that Hannibal was very short of supplies and was expecting a convoy, sent the military tribune, [Quintus Minucius] Thermus, by night to attack the supply train. Thermus took a position on the crest of a hill at a narrow pass, where he killed 4,000 Africans, took as many more prisoners, and brought the supplies to Scipio. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
