Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Manio Aemilius LepidusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Manio Aemilius Lepidus in either 114 or 113 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse of the coin. The reverse of the coin has three arches, on which stands a statue of a man on horseback holding a spear. The inscription '[MN].AEMILIO. ' is around the arches and 'LEP' between them - together they indicate the name of the moneyer. Later coins of the Republic often had reverse designs alluding to the importance of the moneyer's family. The arches may be an aqueduct built by an ancestor. The identity of the person on the statue is unknown, but again probably an ancestor. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
