Description
C. Vibius C.f.C.n. Pansa Caetronianus, (48 B.C.), silver denarius, Rome mint, (3.80 g), obv. Mask of Pan, pedum behind PANSA below, rev. Jupiter Axurus seated to left, traces of C.VIBIVS C.F.C.N. behind and IOVIS AXVR before, (S.420, Cr.449/1b, Syd.948, B.Vibia 19). Toned, nearly very fine/fine with a strong portrait of Pan and very scarce.
The representation of the youthful Jupiter Axurus suggests that the Vibia gens originally dwelt at Axur (Tarracina). There was a temple dedicated to the young Jupiter in that town.
