Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Tiberius Quinctius (or Quinctilius)This silver coin was minted in Rome by Tiberius Quinctius (or Quinctilius) in either 112 or 111 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 a naked desultor, a rider of two horses. Desultors rode in exhibitions and carried messages. Behind is the mint control-mark, a reversed letter Z. Below is a rat, between the letters 'TI' and 'Q' (referring to the moneyer. The design here may refer to a statue, perhaps one commemorating an ancestor of the moneyer. At the bottom of the coin appears to be a tablet with a worn legend 'D.S.S.' (for 'de senatus sententia'), which often appears in building inscriptions. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
