Cn. Fulvius was one of the moneyers for the years 117 & 116 BC. He struck coins jointly with his colleagues for the year, but is not otherwise known.
Gens Fulvia, originally Foulvia, was one of the most illustrious plebeian families at Rome. By the end of the fourth century BC, they had joined the nobiles through the patronage of the Fabii, who supported the successful candidacy of Lucius Fulvius Curvus for the consulship of 322 BC.
They were long active in the politics of the Republic, and gained a reputation for producing excellent military leaders.

M. Calidius, Q. Caecilius Metellus and Cn. Fulvius
Joint coinage of three monetals. M. Calidius may be the father of Q. Calidius, praetor 79 BC. If Q·MET really represents Q. Caecilius Metellus, it could be Q. Caecilius Metellus Numidicus, consul 109 BC, or Q. Caecilius Metellus Nepos, consul 98 BC. Nothing more is known about Cn. Fulvius.
