Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Caius Servilius Caii filiusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Caius Servilius, son of Caius, in 57 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 two soldiers facing each other and presenting swords. The legends 'C.SERVEIL' below and 'C.F' on the right refer to the moneyer about whom nothing else is known. Most coins of the Roman Republic were issued by officials called moneyers. They were able to commission designs, which often referred to famous ancestors or cults. Often, as here, the exact symbolism is unclear.
