Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Lucius Scribonius LiboThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Scribonius Libo in 62 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse depicts Bonus Eventus, the spirit of success, identified by the legend 'BONEVENT' written downwards in front of him. The legend 'LIBO' behind him refers to the moneyer, about whom little else is known. In the Roman religion, worshipper and god entered a contract, with each rewarding the other for favourable treatment. Bonus Eventus was often evoked before making journeys. He was also a favourite of soldiers. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
