Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius Rubrius DossenusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Rubrius Dossenus in 87 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 a Triumphal quadriga, a vehicle without driver, pulled by four horses. Above is Victory with a wreath. Below is the inscription 'L.RVBRI', referring to the moneyer. After the end of the Social War in 88 BC, separate factions vied for power. The design on this side might allude to a hoped-for victory over the followers of Marius and Cinna who were closing in on Rome, signified by Jupiter on the obverse.
