Add to album

This silver coin was minted in Rome by Lucius Marcius Censorinus in 82 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 Apollo, the Greek god of light, healing and prophecy, wearing a laurel wreath.

Coins of the earlier Roman Republic often portrayed the goddess Roma on the obverse. In the 1st century BC the head of Apollo appears on a number of issues including during the Social War (91-88 BC) and the turbulent period thereafter.
