Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius ViniciusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Vinicius in 52 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 carrying a palm-branch decorated with four wreaths. The legend 'L.VINICI' written downwards in front of her refers to the moneyer. The four wreaths may indicate that the moneyer was a supporter of Pompey. Pompey's signet ring had three wreaths as its main motif, recalling his three military triumphs. The fourth wreath may symbolise Pompey's 'golden crown' granted in 63 BC.
