Cr 325/1b AR Denarius L. Sentius C.f.
|
Rome, 101 BCE
o: Helmeted head of Roma right; behind, ARG * PVB [ligate AR]
r: Jupiter in quadriga right, holding thunderbolt and reins in left hand and sceptre in right hand; below, [control mark] H; in exergue, L.SENTI C.F.
Sentia 1 3.93 gm 21.00 mm
This is a pretty coin despite the weak strike on the important left side of the obverse (also affecting Jupiter on reverse). There, the coin proclaims that it is made from Public Silver, ARGentvm PVBlicvm, although the specific reasons are elusive; several nearly contemporaneous issues use the formula.
