Coin (obverse), Denarius of Publius Clodius filius MarciThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Publius Clodius, son of Marcus in 42 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse depicts Apollo, the Greek god of light, healing and prophecy, wearing a laurel wreath. Behind him is a lyre, reflecting his association with music. In the Republic, coins were minted in bronze, silver and gold, though gold issues were rare. Julius Caesar introduced a new gold coinage, and his successors continued this policy. P. Clodius struck a similar issue to this coin in gold. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
