Coin (obverse), DenariusThis silver denarius was minted in Rome in 115 or 114 BC. Unusually for denarii, coins of this issue do not list the name of the moneyer responsible them, but a date can be ascertained based on the designs. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse portrays Roma, the goddess and personification of Rome, wearing a winged Corinthian helmet. Below her is the word 'ROMA', and behind her is the letter X, a mark of value. In the Republic, coins were minted in bronze, silver and gold, though gold issues were rare. The silver denarius became the most common coin after the mid-2nd century BC.
