AR Denarius of M. Tullius
Subject
money; coins (money)
Description
The obverse of this coin is the head of Roma facing right, while the reverse shows Victoria driving a quadriga to the right with a sheaf of wheat in her left hand. The goddess Roma is the female personification of the city and state of Rome. The image of Victoria, goddess of victory, holds a sheaf of wheat in her hand, so perhaps the Republic was celebrating a victory over a difficult harvest.
