L. Cassius Longinus denarius depicts Roman citizen casting a vote, 63
BC (M. Crawford, Roman Republican Coinage, No. 413)
One can read the letter "V" on the tabella (ballot). It stands for V[ti] Rogas, or uti
rogas a vote in favor of a new law. A vote against a new law was
designated by the letter "A" (antiquo); L. (libero) and D. (damno) were
used in the case of a public trial. Roman judices expressed their
judgements by the letters A. (absolve), C. (condemno) and N.L. (non
liquet).
L. Cassius Longinus, whose name appears on the coin, was the younger brother of
C. Cassius Longinus, one of the assassins of
Julius Caesar.
