Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Caius Postumius At (or Ta)This silver coin was minted in Rome by Caius Postumius At (or Ta) in 74 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 Diana, the goddess of women, childbirth and the hunt, carrying a bow and quiver over her shoulder. This issue was the only large issue of coinage in the 70s BC. It was probably struck as a result of Pompey's demands for money to fund the fight against Sertorius in Spain. Sertorius had built up a power base in Spain, increasingly independent of Rome. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
