Silver Imperatorial Denarius Lucius Servius Sulpicius Rufus, Rome mint, struck 41 B.C. A Dioscuri figure is on the obverse, Tusculum fortress being shown on reverse. Extremely Rare. Published references only for the aureus type: RRC 515/1 – B.9 (Sulpicia). Lucius Servius Rufus was a Roman citizen who chose to advertise that Tusculum was his home town through the use of relevant deities (the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux) and through a representation of the city gates.

The gens Sulpicia was one of the most ancient patrician families at Rome, and produced a succession of distinguished men, from the foundation of the Republic to the Imperial period. The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, in 500 B.C., only nine years after the expulsion of the Tarquins, and the last of the name who appears on the consular Fasti was Sextus Sulpicius Tertullus in A.D. 158. Although originally patrician, the family also possessed plebeian members, some of whom may have been descended from freedmen of the gens.
