Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Manius FonteiusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Manius Fonteius in either 108 or 107 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 ship with oars and a doliolum (cask) in the stern. Above is the inscription 'MN.FONTEI' referring to the moneyer (the MN and NTE are joined together). Below is the mint control-mark, the letter F. Later silver coins of the Roman Republic begin to have control-marks - letters or symbols which were probably used to record the number of dies supplied to the officials. Coins of this issue have mint control-marks extending through the entire alphabet. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
