Denarius of Gaius Considius Nonianus, 57 BC. The obverse depicts Venus. The reverse shows the Temple of Venus Erycina on the Quirinal Hill, which was located on the site of the Battle of the Colline Gate. The references to Venus support the claim of Pompeius' partisans that he was the heir of Sulla as the favourite of Venus.[1]
The gens Considia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. The Considii came to prominence in the last century of the Republic, and under the early Empire, but none of them rose any higher than the praetorship.[2]
