Coin (obverse), Denarius, probably of Publius Licinius NervaThis silver coin was minted in Rome, probably by Publius Licinius Nerva, in either 113 or 112 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse portrays Roma, the goddess and personification of Rome, wearing a helmet and holding a shield and spear. Above her is a crescent. Behind her is the inscription 'ROMA'. A star (very worn) is in front of her, denoting the value of the coin. The depiction of Roma on the obverse of the denarius was used for a very long time. While small variations occur, moneyers adhered to the basic design until around 100 BC. This coin shows some variations, including the weapons and a feathered helmet.
