Within the coinage of the gens Pompeia, the first and one of the most interesting series was made by Sextus Pompeius, grandfather of Pompey the Great, who issued a denarius, dated in the year 137 BC, in which Romulus and Remus are suckled by a she-wolf. Rather than expressing a legendary genealogy, this is related to the internal politics of Rome.
