Coin (reverse), Denarius, of Caius Vibius Caii filius Caii nepos Pansa Caetronius
This silver coin was minted in Rome by Caius Vibius Pansa Caetronius, son of Caius, grandson of Caius, in 48 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 Ceres, the corn goddess, holding a torch in each hand. Before her is a plough. The legend 'C.VIBIVS C.F.C.N' refers to the moneyer.
The moneyer was a follower of Caesar. He was the adopted son of a moneyer who struck coins in 90 BC. The design on this issue follows his father's types, and may refer to favourite religious cults of the family.
