RecordCoin (reverse), Denarius, of Titus Clouliusminted in Rome
Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Titus ClouliusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Titus Cloulius in 128 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 in a vehicle called a biga, holding the reins in both hands. Below her is a corn ear. The inscription at the bottom, 'T.CLOVLI', indicates the name of the moneyer. The wreath on the obverse and Victory on the reverse suggest that the design may commemorate a victory of an ancestor of the moneyer. Little is known about this moneyer or his family, however, and the design may simply be a copy from other coins. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
