Coin (reverse), Denarius, of L. Marcius PhilippusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Marcius Philippus in either 113 or 112 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 an equestrian statue, with the horseman holding a laurel branch. Below on the tablet is the inscription 'L.PHILIP [PVS]' referring to the moneyer. The star at the bottom is a mark of value. Later coins of the Republic often had reverse designs alluding to the importance of the moneyer's family. The statue presumably refers to an ancestor of the moneyer, although the identity of the commemorated horseman is uncertain. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
