Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Lucius Livineius RegulusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Livineius Regulus in 42 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 a curule chair with three fasces (rods used by magistrates) on either side, both symbols of the office of Praetor or Praefectus Urbi. The legend 'L.LIVINEIVS' above and 'REGVLV [S]' below identify the moneyer. When a praetor administered justice, he sat on a curule chair. The fasces were carried by officials called lictors before praetors or others dealing with judicial matters. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
