Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius Iulius Caesar filius LuciusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Iulius Caesar, son of Lucius, in 103 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 Venus, the goddess of love, holding a sceptor while driving a vehicle called a biga pulled by Cupids. Above is the mint control-mark, a pellet and the letter P. Below is a lyre, and the inscription '[L .] IVLI. L. F'. Later silver coins of the Roman Republic begin to have control-marks - letters or symbols which were probably used to record the number of dies supplied to the officials.
