Reverse: Prow heading right, with female head decorating acroterium; [before, mark of value, I]; above, [P S]VL[A]; below, ROMA. Style/Period: Roman Republic The as, a coin in the denarius system, is a smaller-scale version of the aes grave, a large, circular bronze coin used in the middle of the third century BCE. The head of Janus, a popular Roman god of beginnings, and the prow on the reverse were the standard images for the Roman as. The mark I denotes it value as one as. Cornelius followed a tradition begun c. 150 BCE in which minting magistrates would include abbreviations of their names on their coins in order to give fame and prestige to the family name. This Cornelius is thought to have been the uncle of the dictator Sulla. The female head on the reverse could be an image of Venus, a traditional deity of the family of Sulla, to whom the coin is dedicated (see coin C005). -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: E.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 209 - 208 BCE Description An account of the resource Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma facing right; behind, mark of value, X. Border of dots. Reverse: Dioscuri charging on horseback facing right; below, anchor; on tablet, ROMA. Line border. Style/Period: Roman Republic With the devaluation of silver coinage c. 220 BCE and the financial demands of the Second Punic War, the Senate and the triumviri monetales instituted a substantial change in the Roman monetary system. The system of silver and bronze coins would be minted with a set value and weight for each coin. The silver coin was named the denarius with a set value of 10 bronze asses. This is denoted by the mark of value X. The image of Roma on the obverse is an image of the personification of the city of Rome. Some early scholars believed it to be an image of Bellona, a Roman war goddess who was perhaps an offshoot of Mars. The Dioscuri on the reverse were the legendary penates or protectors of the city. They were believed to have assisted the Roman armies to victory several times in Roman history, most notably at the battle of Lake Regillus in the fourth century BCE. The images of Roma and the Dioscuri served to renew confidence in the strength and vigor of Rome in the troubled times of the Second Punic War. The anchor on the reverse was used as a privy mark by minting magistrates to denote the location of its mint in southern Italy. The denarius would remain the standard Roman silver coin until the monetary reforms of Augustus. -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: H. A.

Border of dots. Reverse: Victory facing right, placing wreath on trophy of arms; [R]OMA in exergue. Line border. Style/Period: Roman Republic The victoriatus or victoriate began to be minted c. 215 BCE. Along with the quadrigatus, it was one of the first silver coins produced by the mint in Rome and had a set value of 7 and 1/2 bronze asses. The first victoriate with these types probably commemorated the conquest of Corcyra and Illyricum by the Romans in 229 BCE. This coin was probably issued during the first years of the Second Punic War for commercial purposes. The victoriate continued to be issued throughout the war but was discontinued shortly after the introduction of the denarius system (see coin C003). -- Bradford W. Wendel, LU '96 Bibliography: H. A.
