Abstract
It is argued that the lion depicted on the reverse of two types of quinarii struck at Lugdunum in c.43-42BC (RRC 489/5-6) symbolises the province of Gallia Comata where the mane (coma) of the lion plays upon the description as the province as comata ‘long-haired’ and its implied colour ‘tawny’ (fulvus) plays upon the name of Fulvia on the obverse.
