Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Marcus Volteius Marci filiusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Marcus Volteius, son of Marcus, in 78 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 a draped figure, wearing a helmet bound with a laurel wreath. Behind are tongs, used here as a mint control-mark. Later silver coins of the Roman Republic often had control-marks - letters or symbols which were probably used to record the number of dies supplied to the officials. This moneyer used a variety of symbols on the obverse and Greek letters on the reverse. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
