Sear writes of this coin:
"The form of Brutus' name and titles links this group of coinage issued under the proquestor L. Sestius ... which is clearly associated with the tryranicide's campaigns in in Lycia." The History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators 49-27 BC. p. 122.
The purpose of the campaign was to wring financing from the wealthy cities of the East.
Coin was struck by a travelling mint in Asia Minor under the proquaestorship of Lucius Sestius. The reverse type of this coin refers to the office of pontifex, to which Brutus had been elected.
Der Proquaestor Lucius Sestius Quirinalis lief später zu Augustus über und wurde 23 v. Chr. Consul suffectus. Während seiner Zeit im Heer des Brutus dürfte er sich mit Horaz angefreundet haben, der ihm eine seiner Oden (Carmen 1, 4) widmete.
