We don’t know all the services Paullus offered Cicero but we do know one. He echoed the rhetoric of concordia on his coins to support Cicero’s controversial handling of the Catilinarian conspiracy. I discuss this in chapter 4 of my coin book and I’ve got a chapter in my next book on this topic. CF. earlier blog post.
So why repost. Well, it fits so nicely in this moment of the letters where I’ve been thinking so much about the moneyers and consuls and the relationship. So read this as a footnote to the previous posts.
