Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Lucius Livineius Regulus
Add to album

This 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 obverse of the coin.

The obverse depicts Lucius Regulus, the father of the moneyer who was a praetor. The legend 'REGVLVS' is written downwards behind him. Other surviving coins preserve the legend 'PR' on the right, but it is lost here because the coin was struck off centre.

This moneyer was one of four striking coins in this year. Some of his issues are concerned with current events, but others portray famous ancestors. Both sides show his ancestors who were praetors (officials with mainly judicial duties).
