[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are pleased to offer this genuine 2000+ year old Roman Republican silver Denarius of C. Norbanus for your consideration. This desirable coin was minted in Rome in 83 BC and survives in very fine condition with both sides being struck in high relief and well centered. This desirable coin features a rare portrait of Venus and a scene depicting an ear of grain, a fasces with axe and a caduceus. This symbolic scene is likely an allusion to the moneyer's father who played a major role in the Social war in Sicily for which he raised troops, organized a fleet and provisioned the town of Rhegium. [Image] Obverse: Diademed head of Venus facing right, control number behind... C. NORBANVS below. Reverse: Grain ear, fasces with axe, and caduceus. Size: 19 mm Weight: 3.9 grams Reference: Sear 278 Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty and the consort of the god Mars. She was identified with the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Venus was closely associated with the Julian gens and appeared on the coinage of Julius Caesar. One of her temples was located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome and was often frequented by prostitutes, especially on the day of Vinalia Priora on April 23rd. A double temple dedicated to Venus as well as Roma, was built by Hadrian which overlooked the Colosseum. It stood on a huge platform over 150 yards long and 109 yards wide. The fasces ( seen on this coin ) was a double-headed axe with a bundle of rods which originally symbolized the king's right to scourge and execute, but became a symbol of the magistrate's authority during the Republic. Magistrates were elected government officials of Rome who held executive, judicial, legislative, diplomatic, military and religious functions. Each magistracy was represented by at least two men to prevent power being held by one man alone. The term for the office of a magistrate was one year. Magistrates could hold other offices simultaneously, such as a priesthood. The artistry and mythological subjects of ancient Roman Republican 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 2000+ year [Image] old example to your collection. You will not be disappointed with this historic and valuable treasure.
