Comment: "Cossutius comes from a noble equestrian family. In his family there stands out a woman who was engaged to Julius Caesar but repudiated her to marry Cornelia. The coiner made little moneyer but stands out for being one of the few coins who minted coins with the bust of Caesar. It is recommended to read the article ""the coins of Julius Caesar"" in our Articles section."
