Autorappresentazione e onomastica: riflessioni sulla monetazione romano-repubblicana

Scholarship on numismatic self-representation of senatorial families has always paid attention to the iconography of Roman Republican coins, usually overlooking the onomastic features. This paper is an attempt to (partially) fill this gap: it focuses on some aspects of the onomastic formulae employed by late Republican moneyers and highlights their significance for further research on the ideology and prosopography of the Roman aristocracy.
