Struck during the turbulent era following the Social War and amid the civil conflicts between Marius and Sulla, this coin reflects both religious and political themes. Apollo Vejovis, shown with trident and skyphos, represents healing and divine protection. The reverse depicts Victory in a quadriga, symbolizing hope for triumph and stability. The moneyer, L. Julius Bursio, belonged to the influential gens Julia, later made famous by Julius Caesar.
