|211-100| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |Lucius| |Flaminius| |Chilo,| |c.| |109| |-| |108| |B.C.,| |Ancient| |Counterfeit|, The Roman numeral X is a denomination mark for the denarius. Originally the denarius was valued at ten asses, explaining the origin of the mark. When the denarius was revalued to 16, a ligature of of XVI ( X ) was adopted as a mark of value, but the older X was also still used. A genuine Roman denarius would not have more than one mark of value on the obverse. No copper or bronze core is visible but the fabric is clearly unusual and unofficial.
