Coin (reverse), Denarius serratus, of Lucius Licinius, Cnaeus Domitius and Lucius PomponiusThis Roman silver coin was minted in Narbo by Lucius Licinius, Cnaeus Domitius and Lucius Pomponius in 118 BC. It is a type of coin known as a denarius serratus due to its serrated edge. This picture shows the reverse. The reverse depicts a warrior holding a shield and carnyx (war trumpet), and hurling a spear, while in a vehicle called a biga. Underneath is the inscription 'L. LIC. CN. DOM', an abbreviation for two of the moneyers. The reverse design appears to refer to the victories over the Gauls which led to the founding of the colony of Narbo in southern Gaul in 118 BC. The style of the coin differs from contemporary issues, suggesting that it was minted outside Rome. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
