silver

Denarius (diameter=18 mm; weight=4.07 g) minted by Lucius Cassius Q. f. Longinus in 75 BCE. The coin depicts Liber (right), a Roman name for Dionysus/Bacchus, and his female counterpart Libera, identified with Proserpina (Persephone). Libera wears a wreath of vine leaves with a grape cluster, while Liber wears an ivy wreath.

Lucius Cassius Longinus was a key player in the conspiracy of L. Sergius Catilina (Catiline). Cassius ran unsuccessfully for consul in 63, after which he joined forces with Catiline, possibly in an attempt to wipe out the debts he had incurred during his election campaign. He was charged with setting fire to the city when the anticipated uprising began, and he also conducted secret negotiations with the Allobroges, a Gallic tribe, to obtain their military support. In the event, the Allobroges informed on the plot to Cicero (then consul), while Cassius fled the city. Cicero issued an order for the arrest and execution of Cassius, but it is unknown whether the order was carried out successfully, as Cassius disappears from the written record at this point.
