Notes: In "Roman Republican Coinage", Crawford (1975, vol. I, p.441) comments that the spurious claim of the moneyer to descent from L. Aemilius Paullus is highlighted on his coinage by the use of the agnomen as the prenomen.  Crawford adds that the reverse type recalls the three occasions on which L. Aemilius Paullus was hailed imperator.  The presence of King Perseus and his 2 sons draws attention to the last and greatest victory of the three, that of Pydna in 168 BC.  The head of Concordia on the obverse presumably reflects the Concordia ordinum which was central to Cicero's policy in 63 BC; the moneyer was Cicero's convinced supporter.
