Lucius Saufeius

Lucius Saufeius

Lucius Saufeius, triumvir monetalis in 152 BC, minted denarii, aes, and fractional coins. His denarii bear the head of Roma upon the obverse, and Victoria driving a biga on the reverse.

See: Saufeia gens

The gens Saufeia was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned in the final century of the Republic, and from then to the early Empire their name occurs regularly in history, but none of them ever attained the consulship.
