This coin commemorates the victories of the moneyer's supposed ancestor, L. Aemilius Paullus (in fact they were only distantly related). The word TER on the reverse refers to Paullus' three triumphs: in Spain in 190, Liguria in 181 and at the famous battle of Pydna in 168, when the Romans extinguished the independent Macedonian kingdom.
