Comment
One of the rarest denarii in the whole Republican series, only coin from Q. Pomponius Rufus issuer.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Jupiter, the Roman god of thunder and lightning, on one side, and a portrait of Quintus Pomponius Rufus, a Roman politician and military leader, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political and social upheaval in Rome, and the image of Jupiter may have been intended to symbolize the power and authority of the Roman state.
