History of the Artifact

Minted during the Republic era, this denarius is a tangible link to the days of Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Cicero, when the Republic was at its height and Rome was the center of the world. Here is your chance to hold in your hand the glory and grandeur of ancient Rome with these exquisite Roman Republic Denarius, stunning, precious artifacts that have stood the test of time.

The denarius, which became the main silver coin of Rome for over four centuries, was introduced in 211 BC, and was produced in enormous quantities from the silver captured in the sack of Syracuse. Historians believe the coin’s original value to be three day’s pay for a soldier.

Unlike in Imperial Rome where the Denarius always depicted the portrait of the emperor, Republican Denarius varied greatly in design. Designs and inscriptions on early Republican coins were devoted solely to Rome often displaying a Roman quadriga on the reverse and Roma wearing a winged helm on the obverse. During the later Republic, the identities of moneyers (the officials responsible for issuing coins) began to appear on coins late in the Second Punic War, very likely as a bureaucratic innovation. However, as the cult of personality gained momentum in the Republic, the signatures of moneyers expanded from single letters, monograms or symbols to more complete versions. Eventually, moneyers began to use personal designs that celebrated accomplishments of the moneyer’s family.

Whether you're a history buff, a collector, or simply intrigued by the legacy of ancient Rome, this Roman Republic Denarius is a must-have for your collection. It is a rare and precious artifact that represents the very essence of Roman civilization and is sure to be treasured for generations to come.

I ordered this coin for my grandson, he loves anything Roman history and was thrilled. I didn’t receive the authentic certificate with it, I contacted the seller and asked if he could send one out to him. He responded right away and is sending it right out. I would recommend to everyone. Very good customer service and arrived early.
