History of the Artifact

This coin was minted under the reign of Augustus, a critical era in Roman history, when the civilization was transforming from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. The denarius, which became the main silver coin of Rome for over four centuries, was introduced in 211 BC or a few years earlier, and produced in enormous quantities from the silver captured in the sack of Syracuse. Historians believe the coin’s original value to be three day’s pay for a soldier.
