It features the image of a Roman warrior, likely representing the god Mars, on the obverse (front side), and the image of a horse on the reverse (back side). The coin was made of silver and weighed 3.99 grams. Interestingly, the Denarius was the main currency used in ancient Rome and was widely accepted throughout the Roman Empire.

The Denarius was an important symbol of Roman power and influence, and its design and value were closely monitored and regulated by the Roman government.
