The 46 BC monetary college consists of three people: Manius Cordus Rufus, Titus Carisius and Caius Considius. In his monetary iconography, Titus Carisius emphasizes the origin of Julius Caesar and participates in the celebrations of Caesar's four-time triumph in that year. After taking part in the emperor's triumph, he is strangled in the Mamertine prison. Little is known about Titus Carisius' career other than his monetary triumvirate.
