Coin (reverse), Denarius, possibly of Manius Acilius GlabrioThis silver coin was minted in Rome in 49 BC, possibly by Manius Acilius Glabrio. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse of the coin. Valetudo, the goddess of good health, leans on a column and holds a snake. She is identified at the end of the legend 'III.VIR.VALETV' (the TV joined) written on the left. 'MN.ACILIVS' (the MN joined) on the right refers to the moneyer. Most coins of the Roman Republic were issued by officials called moneyers. They may have been elected, perhaps annually. Coins of the later Republic sometimes have all or part of their abbreviated title 'IIIVIR.A.A.A.F.F'. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
