Coin

The first recorded appearance of Boss.

Boss is the third entity to arrive in Blaseball, and is the boss of The Monitor.

Appearance

Boss's appearance is that of an ancient Roman coin, depicting Aequitas Augusti, holding the scales of justice in her right hand, and wheat or a cornucopia in her left. The coin says "Aequitas Aug" along the outside, invoking the Latin concept of justice, equality, and fairness, and the justice of Augustus or Caesar.^[1]^[2]
