Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Titus ClouliusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Titus Cloulius in 128 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. Behind her is a wreath, while below is the inscription 'ROMA'. The Romans needed coins for three main purposes: to pay the salaries of her huge military force, to pay the salaries of her officials and to fund public works. Much of the silver needed to fund these issues came from tribute from the provinces. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
