Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Tiberius VeturiusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Tiberius Veturius in 137 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse of the coin. The reverse depicts an oath-taking scene, where two warriors stand face to face, holding spears and touching with swords a pig held by a kneeling figure between them. Above is the inscription 'ROMA' (Rome). The silver denarius became the most common coin issued after the mid-2nd century BC. At first equal to 10 bronze asses, from around 141 BC it was valued at 16. Thereafter, the sestertius, equated at four to a denarius, was the unit of reckoning. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
