Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Lucius ViniciusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Vinicius in 52 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 Concordia, the goddess of harmony, identified by the legend 'CONCORDIAE' running downwards in front of her. In 60 BC the so-called First Triumvirate was formed, a loose alliance of Pompey, Caesar and Crassus, but it was fraught with tension. This design perhaps hopes for more harmony between Caesar and Pompey. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
