This issue commemorates the foundation of the Second Triumvirate, and was probably struck from the proceeds of the proscriptions in preparation for the campaign against Brutus and Cassius in 42 BC. Lepidus is shown with the title Pontifex Maximus, an office which he received after the assassination of Julius Caesar and held until his death in 12 BC.
