[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are pleased to offer this genuine 2100 year old Roman Republican silver Denarius of Q. Curtius and M. Junius Silanus for your consideration. This desirable coin was minted in Rome 116-115 BC and survives in very fine condition with both sides being well centered and exhibiting a beautiful luster. Our photo does not convey the luster which is so apparent when viewing this coin in person. There are small areas of surface roughness near the rim and an indentation on the cheek of Roma. This coin features a dramatic mythological scene of Jupiter, king of the gods, driving a quadriga ( 4 horse chariot ) and holding a thunderbolt. It also features a large portrait of the helmeted Roma, the goddess of the city and people of Rome. She was originally only recognized in the eastern provinces where her cult was established in the second century BC and was closely associated with the cult of Zeus. Roma was not actually worshiped in Rome until the time of Hadrian who built a temple dedicated to Roma Aeterna on the north side of the Sacra Via ( sacred street) which was the oldest and best known street in Rome. [Image] Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma facing right... X behind and... Q. CVRT before. Reverse: Jupiter driving a quadriga to the right, brandishing a thunderbolt, littus above... M. SILA below and... ROMA in exergue. Size: 20 mm Weight: 3.8 grams Reference: Sear 162 The artistry and mythological subjects of ancient Roman coins have always been a tremendous lure to collectors. In addition, these heirlooms of the ancient world have become extremely popular as showpieces for modern jewelry. Here's your opportunity to add this beautiful 2100+ year old example to your collection. You will not be disappointed with this exceptional and valuable treasure. The Racing Chariot and the Roman Circus: The four-horse chariot ( quadriga ) seen on this coin were often used for racing in Roman circuses. The circus was a building used primarily for chariot racing and was a descendant of the Greek hippodrome. A circus had tiers of seats for spectators, built around a U-shaped arena. In the center of this U was a barrier (spina) with a turning post (meta) at [Image] each end. At the open end of the U were the starting gates (carceses) from where up to 12 chariots drove in a counterclockwise direction around the spina for seven laps. At he end of each spina were seven markers, one of which were removed as each lap was completed. The spina were often lavishly ornamented with sculptures, obelisks, water basins and fountains.
