Details

The college of 3 mint masters (Tresviri monetales) was a restored republican tradition. This coin was struck under the supervision of Marcus Salvius Otho, ancestor of the later emperor Otho. Later the college was expanded to 4 mint masters and the names were no longer mentioned on the coins.
