Lucius Marcius Philippus was a step-brother of Octavianus (Augustus)
obv. Diademed head of King Ancus Marcius right, lituus behind, ANCVS below
rev. Aqaeduct (the Aqua Marcia) represented as an arcade of five arches
surmounted by equestrian statue right, A-Q-V-A- MAR(monogram) within
the arches, PHILIPPVS on left
Lucius Marcius Philippus was a member of a Roman senatorial family. He was a descendant of Roman King Ancus Marcius. A member of the plebeian branch of the Marcia family, Philippus was the son of Lucius Marcius Philippus, the consul of 56 BC and a close friend of Cicero. By 50 BC, he had possibly become an Augur, one of the priests of ancient Rome. In 49 BC he was elected as Plebeian Tribune, where he vetoed the proposal to send Faustus Sulla, Pompey′s son-in-law, as propraetor to Mauretania, to persuade kings Bocchus II and Bogud to side with Pompey and abandon Julius Caesar. In 44 BC he was elected praetor, and although he was granted a province to administer after his term had finished, he refused to accept the validity of the allotment of provinces agreed to in a Senate meeting of 28 November 44 BC. With his father′s marriage to Atia Balba Caesonia, he became step-brother to Octavianus, Julius Caesar′s heir. His father used his influence to help Philippus to obtain the consulate as one of the suffect consuls of 38 BC nevertheless, during his consulate Philippus did not declare himself openly for his step-brother in Octavianus′s rivalry with Mark Antony. By 35 BC, he was appointed the proconsular governor of one of the two provinces of Hispania. After serving there for two years, he returned to Rome, where he was awarded a triumph which he celebrated on 27 April 33 BC for his actions while governor. With the spoils of his victories, he restored the temple of Hercules and the Muses in the Circus Flaminius. Philippus did not appear to have any living sons to succeed him. Philippus married Atia, daughter of Julia Minor and Marcus Atius Balbus and maternal aunt of Augustus. She bore him a daughter Marcia, who later married Paullus Fabius Maximus. Marcia had one son and possibly one daughter: Paullus Fabius Persicus and Fabia Numantina, who may have been the daughter of Maximus′ brother Africanus Fabius Maximus.
On the obverse shows us the portrait of King Ancus Marcius. The portrait looks individualised, like it was based on a real person. However, the subject of the image is Ancus Marcius, the fourth king of Rome, from whom the family claimed descent (and proved their antiquity, importance, and so on). While Roman families of note kept busts of their ancestors modelled from death-masks, which would make appearances in their grand funerals, whenever a scion of the family died and joined the ranks of the ancestors rather than the living, this portrait cannot be based on one of those. Ancus Marcius lived about six centuries prior to this coin. The image is therefore a fantasy, perhaps based on familial characteristics, but largely constructed to commu-nicate a message rather than a likeness. The pronounced naso-labial folds, the sunken cheeks, the prominent Adam′s apple all suggest a man of some years. The portrait right is of a Republi-can man from close to the time of our coin, and the shared facial structure is clear. In Greek and Roman times hair was a sign of royalty. This is the reason we don′t see an old bold man here, but an old man with a full head of hair. In fact we see here a Hellenistic king, complete also with a royal Hellenistic diadem. The reverse of this coin commemorates the construction in 144 BC of the Aqua Marcia by Quintus Marcius Rex, whose equestrian statue statue appears above the aquaduct. in 144 BC the Roman Senate instructed the praetor urbanus, Quintus Marcius Rex, to reclaim and repair the conduits of the Appian and Anian aqueducts which had sprung leaks because of their old age and from which citizens were illegally diverting the water supply. In addition to the repair work, he brought in a third water course, the so-called Aqua Marcia. This new aqueduct was built between 144-140 BC to improve the water supply for Rome. It was the longest of the 11 aquaducts that supplied the city on ancient Rome of water. cf.
