Comment
Alb.1096, Seaby Lutatia 2, Syd.559, Sear 182Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a triumphant Roman soldier holding a trophy and a shield, surrounded by a laurel wreath. This design was meant to commemorate the military victories of Quintus Lutatius Cerco, the Roman consul who issued the coin during his reign in 109-108 BC. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the political and military achievements of the Roman Republic during that time, making it a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
