Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Caius Vibius Caii filius PansaThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Caius Vibius Pansa, son of Caius, in 90 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 Ceres, the corn goddess, walking to the right, holding a torch in each hand. A pig is in front of her (very worn and indistinct on this coin). Behind her is the legend 'C.VIBIVS.C.F', written downwards, referring to the moneyer. The designs on Roman Republican coins often referred to famous ancestors or favourite cults of the moneyer. Ceres and Apollo appear on other coins of members of the Vibius family. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
