Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius Plautius PlancusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Plautius Plancus in 47 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 Victory holding a palm-branch and leading four horses. The legend below is incomplete due to the coin being struck off centre, but other examples show that it would have have been either 'PLANCVS' or 'PLANCV', referring to the moneyer. The design on this coin was also commonly carved on gemstones in the late Republic. Its popularity has been interpreted as the bearer's wish to celebrate the victories of an important person, perhaps at this period alluding to Caesar.
